defoliation
m0useanswered grow question 19 days ago
Have a plan when defoliating. its not always a good idea to just randomly do this because you think its needed.
Leaves make the plants food. less leaves = less growth/food.
Its really only needed to help with airflow in a crowded tent to help avoid stale air pockets and reduce mold issues if your prone to them.
Some LST can also be used vs defoliating.
Looking at your diary this questions is linked to I do not think it is needed at all.
Big no from me. Let it grow out and be as is. Lots of space and airflow between all the nodes.
Good Luck!

Defoliation/pruning guidesIs defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.Techniques. Defoliation

Defoliate a flowering auto?Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful?
Thanks!

LollipopHallo
Welche Teile sollte ich abschneiden um ein gutes lollipop hinzubekommen. Den Damen wird es zu warm und die Blätter liegen übereinander und schwitzen. Deshalb habe ich heute das Netz installiert und versuche jetzt noch mehr Platz zu machen. Ich hab schon jeden Tag 10-12 cuts

Defoliation?To defoliate or not? On my previous grows I have defoliate the day before flipping and again at 22 days into flower. This time around I defoliate 2 weeks before flipping. Should I defoliate again at 21 days or leave it? Is 21 days the optimal time?

Pruning dilemmaI am noticing that some leaves are turning yellow at the very bottom of some plants, I think that there is not enough light coming through. So my question is (I did only LST and FIM --> on the main branch on every plant) should I start to prune some branches to empower top part?
