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.

Should I cut off leaves or not?
Hi everybody, I’m new here! I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off. What do you think? Thank u very much.

Autoflower defoliation?
If you look at my latest pics like day 48, does anyone think I should do some fair amount of defoliation? I have picked some leaves that block buds but am torn whether to keep her bushy as is or if it would benefit at all from some decent amount of defoliation.

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?
I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎

A few leaves (small & big) turn yellow from the tips while veins stay green. Also rusty and brown spots appear on affected leaves. Buds not fattening or at least very slow. I used BioGrow/Calmag & flower fertilizer but always only 0.5 ml because I noticed a slight nute burn.

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?
I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?

Cutting fan leaves
Just cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?

Hello growers. Is there a max limit on how much I should defoliate? I feel like I could improve the light to the lower levels more but I’m worried it could harm the plants and affect the growth?

Defoliation in flowering stage
Now that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches? Thanks again, all help is appreciated.
