Weedasrelaxstarted grow question 5 years ago
Do you think that I need to practice defoliation or let it grow as she is? Naw that she starts flowering shall I practice LST or just leave it like this?

It is better to practice LST when the stems are still flexibles so you can still do it but be carreful to not break the strem at his base ( it happens a lot with me for my late lst )
It's also better to practice defoliation during veg / 1st week of pre flower because in flowering she'll could nor recover from a hard defoliation. If you are planning to remove the leaves that are blocking light to lower budsite it's ok , if you air circulation is bad and your humidity is high then it's ok too as long as you'r not over doing it.

Spinnn hit the nail on the head. LST is supreme in this case. Try not to defoliate too much into the flowering stage, and LST could break hardened stems. Good luck!

DefoliationHey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tipsI have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips.
Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones?
Thanks for your help!

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?Week 14

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?Week 10
