Defoliate OK or Not?
m0useanswered grow question 5 days ago
If it helps with air flow and prevents leaves overlapping and creating humidity pockets, then yea.
If you have good air flow, then no, leaves = growth.

Looks good so far.
More information would be great. Flowering around week 2?
Both ways are "okay".
I prefer a single bud to be able to spread out and reach its full potential over two smaller buds competing for nutrients and light.
Additionally, better airflow prevents leaf overlap and wet spots, which can lead to mold.
So I would suggest to lollipop, defoliate and LST here.
Ultimately, the goal is to create a flat canopy to maximize light exposure for all bud sites.
Good Luck! :)

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :)
Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light?
I am in day 13 of flowering
I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!9 months ago

Auto(not)floweringOne of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently.
I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Early flower stage adviseSo the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up
