Defoliate/Prune or let it be?
Tubington9answered grow question 4y ago
Not even close. You dont need to defoliate until the lighting is being significantly restricted to lower portions of the plant. Normally 4-5 weeks for autos, and usually about 5-7 weeks for regs/fems (about a week before flower) and then a second time for regs/fems about 3 weeks in to flower

You need the fan leaves to absorb light to allow the plant the energy to grow, the only time you need to defoliate is when light is being obstructed to the lower portion of the plant when it seriously starts to fill out and get bushy

This is my first auto and considering there is recommended 2 weeks left is she in a good position for a decent yield? I’ve heard 1-2 oz is normal for an auto but I can’t even dream of these buds getting that big over the next few weeks. Should I have stayed at 18/6 to perform btrWeek 6

Help me Understand Defoliation and Pruning around 17-21 dayscofStill learning lots. I’m at day 18 of Flower and would like some feedback on what’s considered 1/3 of the plant for lollipopping effectively. Do I take the bud sites and fan leaves from everything under 1/3 of the plants total height or do I take bottom third existing foliage?

Coteleidoni toltiCiao amici , in cicli scorsi ho sempre levato i coteleidoni ma non vorrei che questa cosa che io faccio danneggi le piante anche se in giro per il web e per le esperienze di altri grower mi dicono che invece levando le due foglioline lo stelo riesce ad irrobustirsi meglio.Pareri?

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.

Panowie i Panie jak myślicie przyciąć delikatnie liście by odsłonić dolna partie wzrostu? Dzień 36. Jak narazie nie widać żadnych deficytów ani przenawożenia. Może podpowiecie mi co zrobić też by zmaksymalizować plon. Bardzo będę wdzięczny za każdą odpowiedź.

Hello everyone, I know that it’s not a great thing to do but I need to grow this autoflowering G14 as fast as possible (because I’ll be resettling in another country soon). So I was wondering if you people had any tips for growing fast (appart from having great lights and using great nutrients). Especially :
- do you think that keeping the plant in a 1L pot will speed up the flowering time ?
- what should I choose between LSTing, toping, Fi-ming and natural shape to go as fast as possible ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers and good luck for your grows ! 🍁Week 1
