Twalker92started grow question 5y ago
On my on my lemon 1 should I defoliate any more leaves before she's goes into flower to help with light penetration and should I do anything with lemon 2? She's tied down but should I defoliate anything although she is quite small.

No you should not. A smart move would be to bend her with a wire or a rope to promote secondaries growth aka LST.
Here you have 3 sets of true leaves which are all important for the photosynthesis, a defo will stunt her

no. your plant is too small , dont harm her at all. Good luck !

Do not defoliate. Plants are way too young and removing leaves in this stage will stunt their growth extremely.

Defoliate more?Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.Week 7

Defoliate?Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.

Excessive nodes and autoflowersMy plants have SO SO many nodes. In my opinion they have way way too many branches. Is there anything at all I could do as far as cutting/pinching, some of them off? They’re autoflowers and I’ve only really found people saying don’t do it.
