hi buddy 👋 nice grow 👍 personnaly i am not an adept of big defoliation with auto's....due to their specifics very short flo cycles each big leaves are potentially a tank for mobiles nutrients..... but a little lollipopping is strongly recommended to avoid that's littles pop corn's buds sucks energy to upper buds.
another great solution could be the addition of 2 vertical bar with a flo spectrum to ensure a really better penetration of light by the side.....it is not a pricéy solution (even if it's a cost) but demands to find the good chinese stuff .
hope this helps to your reflexion 👊 have a good grow

Yes and No
Yes because some upper leaves are blocking light to the lower bud site so this is a lack of light repartition that can be corrected with a defoliation but we are not talking about stripping them down ,: justr removing a leaf or 2.
No Because if you can apply a simple LST to help with the light repartition then no need to cut anything , just to move them but in you case it's looks like the tent is full and your space to bend the stems is limited

Hi @SirDillton Yes you should defoliate little by little so that the plants do not stress. I usually wait 5-7 and defoliate some more. Some larger leaves of the main branch and others in the middle and bottom of the plants for the light to penetrate better and more evenly and to create air circulation between the branches and foliage. good luck mate 👍

Complicate
trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth autoHello!
Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage?
Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility.
Many thanks.Week 13

Defoliation In 1st Week?I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.Week 6

Hello there. Thank you for your answers im learning alot 🔥. Im hoping to give back.
My question is:
- which weeks do you recommend lollypoping and defoliating?
I read that end of week 2 flower lollypoping since it has grew already and the braches have been defined.

Defoliating Autos in FlowerHi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?
