Techniques. Defoliation grow question by ItsLegalInMyHouse

ItsLegalInMyHouse started grow question 5 years ago

Defoliation, is it worth it? It’s the start of week 5, my 3 plants are growing in a tight tent and the leaves are starting to cross between them. I’m worried that the smaller plants won’t get enough light but I’ve never defoliated before and I am nervous to try. any advice? :)

Techniques. Defoliation

OutForReal answered grow question 5 years ago

Hi there ! If some lower bud sites and your smaller plants can't get enough light then I would do defoliation. You don't need to remove the whole leaf , if only few parts of it are obscuring the light then cut them instead of the whole leaf ! You are in the first week of stretch so if you don't really want to give a defoliation a try , you can also
knit your leaves together to increase light penetration !! :grin::+1:
