Defoliate lower fan leaves on Autoflowering Lemon Haze???
Pepperoni91started grow question 5 years ago
Should I defoliate a few fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant? She is very very wide and bushy. I feel like the bottom would produce some large branches and buds if there was more light penetrating. And there are so many leaves tucking only gets so much light through.

I regularly defoliate extra leaves that block light to new growing branches and interfere with the development of internodes. Don't forget that you grow inflorescences, not leaves, so you don't need to feel sorry for them! I often even remove the upper leaves so that they do not cast a shadow on the developing inflorescences

Hi @Pepperoni91 yes mainly the leaves that are shading the buds. automatic plants hate stress the secret of defoliation is to do it little by little so that the plant does not stress and be late. good luck mate 👍

Should I defoliate?Hello everyone
my plant has grown VERY bushy and the fan leaves are crowding together and turning each other upside down. (See second pic) So I was wondering if I should just take off the fan leaves from the secondary shoots.

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?4 years ago

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade...
I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.

Is it a good idea to defoliate this monster a bit? Day 54/24FI've defoliated all three plants 3 times so far and the Northern Cheese Haze and 3BOG look great but the Stilton x 3BOG bx is an absolute monster and super bushy. I am not terribly concerned about larf as I'm gonna make some ice hash but I'm sure that it would help with air flow.

3 sets of fan leaves per node on newly topped plants.One cola on each of the 2 recently topped grape punch plants in super soil have started growing 3 fan leaves per node.
I believe that's known as a whorled flower?? Is this just an uncommon mutation, or something to be concerned about?Week 2

Hello fellow growers! So, i heard that removing the big leaves from the plant at the beginning of flowering stage is good because it will help for the buds. Is it true? Its my first time having it right and i dont want To screw everything. Thank you ! :)
