maybe the ones causing condensation (standing water) or the ones contorting like crazy, if any. Keep as many leaves as possible. That should be your goal. Leaves are lungs. The products of photosynthesis are highly mobile and apical dominance dictates distribution. Leaves are good.

Hey, ich würde niemals Blätter wegnehmen, wenn es keine Probleme gibt. Entferne nur beschädigte Blätter und solche, die den Boden berühren oder beim Wässern stören (unteres Drittel der Pflanze). Außerdem sind überlappende Blätter ein Problem, wenn sich Feuchtigkeit dazwischen sammelt kann dies als Brutstätte für Pathogene dienen. Ansonsten würde ich dir eher empfehlen nach der 4. oder 5. Nodie (von oben) alle kleinen Verästelungen/Seitentriebe zu entfernen, daraus entwickelt sich meistens eh nichts vernünftiges und so hat die Pflanze mehr Energie für die "guten" Blüten im oberen Bereich. Viel Glücl Growmie!

I would wait 4-6 days more, even top buds not all shows flowers. A bit too early for starting selective defoliation or any other heavy strip like miami mango , swazing, grandMasterLevel or any other huge defoliation ways would do ...

Anfang 3. Blütewoche ist ein super Zeitpunkt um einmal richtig aufzuräumen. Alles weg, was nicht genug Licht bekommt LST um alles auf eine Ebene zu bringen. Die Blätter weg, die Buds bedecken Dann bist mit dem Training bis zur Ernte größtenteils durch 👌

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
