Yes you should defoliate whatever the fan leafs are blocking the light straight on to those buds that would encourage bigger and better flower . hope this information help have a happy grow

Has anybody had any luck and/or experience with those RapidLED Far Red Initiator Pucks? https://www.rapidled.com/far-red-initiator-puck/ I'm gonna be growing autos primarily, so not looking to recreate the Emerson Effect, but rather just accelerate growth.

Big leaves keep or not?
Question for all the growers in here. When I can cut those big fan leaves on my plant? According that this is an acceptable procedure. My plant is still in veg with around 11 nodes. It seems that those big leaves put in shade the side shoots, should I remove them or not?

Do i need to defoliate or is it alright for my plants to be this bushy? Just worried about airflow for the coming flowering period. If so, how do i do it? Ive heard of some people that just take off all vegetation up to a certain point in the plant

Can someone tell me if the flowers are burned? the ends of the pistils are brown. It may be that the treatment with potassium soap has damaged the pistils? I always apply them in hours without sun. Thank you very much !!

Should I harvest next week-ish? My pistils and trichomes appear to indicate its almost ready. But my flower time is 6 of 10-11 weeks. I'm going to check next week and take another picture of the trichomes, but they're at the beginning of showing amber.

This is my first grow in a 2x4x6. I got carried away and packed it out. im on day 47 for everything. 3 autos, 6 photos. I defoliated autos right before flowering. The question I have is should I let the photos grow a little more before defoliating and or topping?

I understand that by placing less clay balls my roots will reach the reservoir quicker, but then wouldn't sunlight seep through the remaining exposed net pot?

I started the light off close to the plants and have been raising it up as they grow to prevent light burn - is that the general idea or am I doing it backwards?

Defoliating Autos in Flower
Hi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?

I've had a real issue with defoliation. Not really sure how much leaves to remove without causing harm to the plant. Where should I start and what is a good procedure to follow.
