I would personally just tuck any leaves out the way. Unless you have humidity reasons. If it didn’t like it last time don’t do it again.

Terpenator advocates! I'd like to start using it. Does it ONLY enhance the flavors? Or does terpenator have the ability to override the natural flavors of the cannabis with it's own? When should I start feeding my autos Terpenator?

To trim or not? Week 6 short Easy Bud
My Easy Bud plant starts week 6 tomorrow and is very bushy but is also very short at 14cm, I believe it is ready to flower(?) and wondered if I should cut back some of the fan leaves or just continue to tuck the best I can?

Defoliating during flower phase week 2 or 3. Too late?
Is it too late to cut away some of these ugly leaves? I think I'm either in week 2 or 3 of flowering. Thanks!

To trim or not to trim
So guys... Defoliation... Your opinions ... Should I trim off the leaves or leave them on? If trim... When do I do it? Am I allready too late? Did I fuck it allready by removing the bottoms small branches and leaves? (Did this in week 4)

Should I defoliate more then I did?
Should I defoliate more then I did? I went to the second and third leaf on all mains. Kinda thinking Id leave more of the smaller stuff on the lower but I think I did an ok job with LST and Topping to keep the bottoms pretty cleanish. Plant 2 maybe more from the FIMMED top?

I attempted topping on both my Northern Lights, and My Girl Scout Cookies. The Northern Lights went just fine, but when topping the GSC I nicked one of the Lateral Branches. What should I do to fix it?

The last figure shows the topping plan i'd pick for this round, but i didn't manage to grow my plants this way. Better luck next time! Only now i want to know, can anyone point me to a diary that shows a plant that actually is topped that way? Thank you very much. 😏
