IMO I would not. If you feel you have to remove bigger ones from the bottom that aren't getting beneficial light that's ok, or that cover bud sites. If you take too many leaves autos dont have time to recover before they switch over. So the more leaves the better. Hope this helps

Besides just keeping the growth tips in the light, taking any more would hurt IMO. However the more growth tips in light the more colas so its kind of an art I am still trying to get "right" but have been right enough.

Defo or not Week 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?

According to the trichromes I'm guessing there's more than 2 weeks remaining before harvest. I'm looking for all cloudy with some amber trichromes and the majority of them are still clear with slightly cloudy. Anyone able to give me a more accurate timeline? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3?

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Ok, kinda of a poll question. Looks like I am about 2 weeks from harvest based on Seedsman recommendations. Wondering how long most people like to flush. I am going with the tradition 2 weeks, but am wide open to being educated here. So how long to flush using just H2O? tha

Please see April 3rd photo and weekly update comment. Considering snipping the lowest 2 growth tips early in an effort to focus more energy higher up the plant. This is an auto specific question and I will be doing lst regardless. All thoughts welcome👊

I’m curious about the color of my SODK. The whole plant is basically yellow (see pics, started around week 6). It doesn’t look unhealthy though and the buds are looking great. Just wondering did I do something wrong or is it simply genetics?
