I'd leave her as she is for now unless they are causing a high RH. Looks spread out enough to leave as many leaves as possible.

Is it a good idea to defoliate this monster a bit? Day 54/24F
I'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.

Defoliation - 5th week flowering
Heey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high

Fan leaves in early
I’m only 5 days into flower but could do with some fan leaves removing to let light in underneath. However I only just defoliated the day before flower roughly 6 days ago. Would it still be ok to clip a few off?

Blätter und Triebe im Zentrum meiner Lady
Jetzt muss ich doch nochmal nachfragen. Im Zentrum meiner Lady sind die Blätter sehr dicht und manche Triebe werden verdeckt. Sollte ich jetzt vielleicht doch besser ein paar Blätter aus der Mitte entfernen? Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung

To defoliate or not to defoliate?
Wondering if I should defoliate? Seems to be contradicting opinions on defoliating autos, would like to have some feedback as this one has a LOT of leaves. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what the discoloration on the large leaf in the two o'clock position in the last picture is? Is it indicative of some nutrient issue or is it simply a genetic defect? It doesn't seem to be hindering the growth of the plant. Curious and wanting to learn.

Nodes and Leaves that don't receive light, cut off ?
So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?

Got 2 plants that have grown up under identical conditions except pot size. Both were germinated - everything - on the same schedule. Started indoors under 18 hours of light; then moved outdoors. One is flowering - one is not. Will this plant keep flowering or revert to veg?

Big Cat Kush -
The Big Cat Kush has some very thick, small growth near the base (lots of small leaves). Never had this happen before. Is this normal for BC Kush? Should I thin it out?

Defoliating autoflower
What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help
Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??
As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day
