Yo, guys! I'm sharing my plants (5th week. 35th day). HELP

Now, in principle, there is no point in cutting off excess leaves, but in the future, yes, those very large ones, when other leaves near the buds grow, will need to be cut off so that more light gets to the buds.Regarding LST it is too late LST should be started at about 3-4 weeks of growth so that the plant adapts and at the moment if you do it like this the plant may break.As for foliage, this is not a problem at all, since the main growth force is in the roots, foliage is the second source of energy, the main source of energy is the roots, in other words, healthy roots, healthy growth.

If I were you, I wouldn’t necessarily defoliate, but with the more indica-dominant plants, you might want to start thinning them out a little to improve airflow. “I hope my answer was helpful.

Hey 👋 Deine Ladys sehen gut aus ! Ich würde keine Blätter entfernen, außer sie sind bereits gelb, oder hindern die Buds genug Licht aufzunehmen. Für mich sieht es so aus als würde beides nicht eintreffen, also würde ich die Lady lassen wie sie ist. Die Belaubung hat meiner Ansicht nach was mit der Genetik zu tun. Strains mit höherem sativa Anteil neigen dazu höher zu wachsen & nicht so buschig zu wachsen wie die indika Sorten. Außerdem sehen die meisten nach dem Stretch ein wenig nackt aus, also keine Panik. Ich hoffe es es hat dir geholfen 👊 Viel Spaß beim growen 🍀

1: No, each leaf contributes to gas exchange; there should never be a "need" to defoliate before first having a reason to do so. Defoliation, or the removal of leaves, can cripple gas exchange in plants. Specifically, it can significantly reduce a plant's ability to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which are essential for photosynthesis and respiration to occur. It doesn't matter how much DLI she gets; if she can't perform stomatal conductance, it will bottleneck growth dramatically. 2. Nothing is necessary; everything is stressful. Very possible and recommended, don't even worry about fcuking it up, that's how you learn, just make sure you do your homework prior and have the tools ready and at hand for instant repairs, in case needed. 3. If it's an aut,o that's normal, she is just stretching very well, getting a lot of work done in a cycle,

Nothing look congested. LEaves do more than just absorb light. they are also the lungs. Do not remove leaves whimsically. The extra stretch is due to weaker light. Removing leaves can also exacerbate stretching. The node spacing tells a history of light intensity. More stretch = needed more light. At this point training won't do much and i don't think it'd do much with these plants anyway. Just continue to keep it spread out to receive as much light as possible.
