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 👍

Last DefoliationHey Grow Community,
My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

Stickstoffüberschuss?Habe bei meiner Auto das Problem das sie kaum in die Höhe wächst, dazu die Flecken auf einem Blatt. Ich habe aber das Gefühl das die anderen Blätter auch zu dunkel sind? Vielleicht wächst sie wegen einem Stickstoffüberschuss nicht mehr?Sollte ich erstmal ohne Dünger gießen?

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

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!

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!10 months ago

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.

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stageThe canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?

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
