Hello everybody My plant has been in bloom for 20...

@gottagrowsometime - thee are only 2 sets of leaves at any growth node unless it's a tri-leaf mutation, bud. So, by tellin him to get 2-3 at each node you are ostensibly saying don't remove any. Also, a more mature plant will only have 1 leaf at each node once asymmetrical growth starts. to clear that up: light penetration should be achieved through not over-crowding the area. The sugars produced by photosynthesis are highly mobile. the reason the top growth gets the lion's share is not about where the light hits but about apical dominance. Again, there's a great article on cocoforcannabis that explains all of this for those that haven't taken many bio and chem classes in their lives -- there's simply too much knowledge out there for 1 person to have, so you have to rely on those that spend decades working in these areas, just as you do with a mechanic, but less motivation to lie for profit, lol. Seriously, read all the guides and articles in dr photon's corner. you can avoid "bro-science" liek this and that 36 hours of darkness nonsense, lol.... or that flushing somehow dilutes what is in the plant, as if it has an excretion system, lol. it is a tool to fix a rootzone problem, but any buildup in plant takes time to work off the excess. it's not being "flushed" out because it can't without an excretion system to do it. education and experience tells me this. the articles on cocoforcannabis orginate from the same knowledge base. you can see it play out the same on other similar flowering plants, it's beyond a debate, yet common perception is often wrong about this techinical detail and incredulous about it. I've even purpusely left leaves covering entire bud sites and those buds develop just as well as all other buds with similar apical dominance (mostly about vertical height on plant, but also the vascular tissue leading to it is a factor). Light penetration is good, but don't sacrifice canopy coverage, ever. the results of photosynthesis are trucked around the plant freeling. it is HIGHLY mobile. it's ever-present in the phloem all throughout the plant, realtive to teh rate at which it is produced, which is only reduced when you remove leaves, never increased. that would defy the laws of physics. It's be like thining a ball thrown by a pitcher can speed up after it left the pitcher's hand, despite no additional forces placed upon the ball, just magicall speeds up somewher betwee pitcher and catcher for no reason (ignoring wind)

For your space and the size of your plant I would highly recommend a trelly net, then you could spread out your healthy looking bush a bit more. That's already giving you more airflow through your plant. After that take of only the leaves laying on and touching other leaves and buds (will get wet at these spots, especially if you are running high VPD) Don't take of too many leaves, bc could stress her into herming. Just don't overdo it so she stays healthy like that. Happy growing!

Hello there. So, 100% yes. As your In a tent. Static lights plants need to be moved, rotated etc. Pull apart with some LST 1st. Then when they're set. After pre flower is over (the plants nodes stop putting on upwards height). So,,what you wanna do is do it in 3-4 stages. Of 15-25%. So, pick a node. (LST been done). Then at the top of each node, you'll see sets of fan leaves. Pick of the biggest sets, making sure to leave 2-3 sets around the 1st inch or so of the tops of the nodes. Pulling your branches away (LST) Your nodes should / and light reaches deeper into your plant. Now on each node. Keep 2-3 sets of fan leaves up the top. (DO NOT REMOVE ANY SUGAR LEAVES). Work your way down it. And take of sets leaving a set in the middle and all sets at the bottom that arent above bud sites, (leave all of those) as they don't block anything. So, I know ur English is not the best. So if you need please message me Also, you can go to. This is THE BEST SITE, to learn everything cannabis https://www.growweedeasy.com/defoliation

Are you a newer grower? No shame in that! We all were once. First of all a nice looking plant, nice greens, I'm going to go Indica leaning, those biggish leaves. You don't just want to remove some leaves, you also want to try and separate out those colas. Did you top the plant? Take every leaf and bud site below about 12" and then start chopping in above. You want to maximise the light above to the lowest leaves, something like 2-4 small leaves per bud site. The plant will look bare and naked if you've done it right, and you'll think you did too much, but say 4 weeks into flower you'll be leaving enough they grow back smaller and leave you good light lines after. You might also want to think about some cheap wooden chopsticks taped to different branches and trying to push them further apart, make the plant as wide as possible, bend the branches flat a little and they'll grow straight back up towards the light. Maximise the light to the lowest bits of the plant and grow more quality. Search for "Lolipopping" cannabis and defoliation. Those are your friends, Nick

all totally mature and pointing to inside of canopy - YES. but be wise, when human can see from above ground at bottom its 100000 times too much. i would advice take off 3-5 , give 3 days of rest, then choose 3-5 more victims and go like this. plant will reposition other leaves, so few days break helps to understand better what is shading and how much to take off....
