Defoliate the center or leave her alone?
CovidBeardstarted grow question a year ago
My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?

Each node is getting light I would leave her alone. Don't want to risk stunting her more! Now when those top leaves cover lower nodes, yes.. remove the inner top leaf so the lower nodes can get light. Do it slowly one or two leafs each day not to stress her! Good luck!

I recommend not cutting the one in the middle, Instead try gently bending it down with your hand, Please be cautious to avoid breaking it, as the top part relies on those leaves later on you can cut them 🍻

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?

Nodes and Leaves that don't receive light, cut off ?So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes!
I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?
