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

Comment un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ?
Bonjour, mes plantes sont très touffus, j'aimerai réaliser un meilleurs lst et une défoliation afin de permettre à chaque feuilles d'avoir de la lumière. Avez-vous des conseils sur un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ? Je ne sais pas quoi couper ou comment écarté les tiges. Merci

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage
Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

Need some advice please. The pistols are 20 to 30 percent brownish. But the trichomes are still clear to cloudy, no amber. Almost a third of the pistols are still all white with clear trichomes. I want to get her to max THC. Should I let her keep growing?

Topping or LST after 1st topping
Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

At day 76 for flowering and still not ripe, is this normal for cheese and gorilla strains in soil? Or am I counting wrong? Do I start counting from the flip? Or from when you start seeing pistils?

Would they benefit for trimming any at this point? Week 4 after switching lights. They have been topped and some training. Still not getting light very deep. Will try a scrog next time.
