Should I defoliate more then I did?
prohbusinessstarted grow question 4 years ago
Should I defoliate more then I did? I went to the second and third leaf on all mains. Kinda thinking Id leave more of the smaller stuff on the lower but I think I did an ok job with LST and Topping to keep the bottoms pretty cleanish. Plant 2 maybe more from the FIMMED top?

Youre gonna get answers from both sides of the camp for this one. Some people swear by defoliation, some people say never do it. Personally I only take leaves off that are already dead, or that just fall off when you touch them. But I know there's people out there that are the opposite end of the spectrum and they will cut almost everything off.....depends on whether the strain can handle it and your own personal grow style the most i would guess. So if you think you should take more , take a few more. The plants will tell you if you took too much. Good luck!

Man end of the month roles around and people just stop answering questions that is weird.. Anyway I don't like to defoliate so I'll throw that opinion in there but lots of folks swear by it.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
