Wedding Glue auto has WAY too many leaves. What do i do with her?

I should just add info right after asking. So to clarify... Lol... The grow environment and air flow are near perfect. Automated system. I also think I said the wrong thing. It looks like the leaves are separating each bud instead of them forming together to make a single massive cola. I hope this helps. Sorry and thank you

I think your plant looks good. If you look down from the top and you cannot see through the canopy that means the plant is making use of every photo coming their way. That is efficient and good for crop yield. Your canopy is dense so I would keep an eye on the humidity. If it gets too high you could have mold/bud rot problems. Good ventilation through the canopy can help. With a dense plant get a small fan on the floor of your tent blowing on a low setting up at an angle into the base of the plant. This will force fresh air up through the leaves and buds to prevent rot and insure that they get a continuous supply of CO2. It also insures that the humidity in the core of the plant is not excessive do to lack of air flow. People occasionally mention "wind burn" or too much airflow causing a problem. That is usually only an issue with very young plants. Plants evolved outside surviving storms and almost continuous wind so... it can take it.

Defoliation, at this stage, wouldn't do a blessed thing except cut down on your jail time... She looks gorgeous! And no, lots of leaves does NOT make for airy buds... for dense, thick buds you'd need to increase the potassium and phosphorus starting on about week 2 or 3 of flower.... Whether you wet trim or dry trim is going to be personal preference.... I like to do a wet trim - think it's a better end product... but you get to decide! Good luck! Fantastic grow!

foliage does not cause airy buds... they power growth. they do not hinder it. bud sites develop primarily by apical dominance. lower buds do not magically improve by removing leaves around them. heat and RH can cause larf. Primarily it is genetics if environment had some sort of control anythign you do won't have a huge impact over 48 hours. I've read and heard conflicting info on teh darkness stuff.. at least it has a chance of being real because it's attempting to impacts 1 of the 2 rates invovled -- rate of evaporation vs rate of growth/maintenance etc. at least it is feasible and worth testing. there's no magic out there that drastically chnages the density and quality of your weed. sure, temps, rh, wavelengths of light can impact it in some statistically significant way, but that in now way intimates big differences. (assumes some common sense controls on temps/rh). if plantn was relatively happy, you get what you get. chalk it up to genetics. you have a lot less control than you beleive (you plural.. this is a common false belief that we have significant control over outcome... it's more of a stewardship)
