Defoliation and lollipop

Gemini_Growstarted grow question 5y ago

Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?

You definitely want to keep as many of your fan leaves as possible but if there is a leaf blocking light to lower budsites then it needs to be picked off in my opinion. I go through my plants every couple days and pluck a few leaves to let light down to the lower branches. I find that doing this helps those lower branches grow up to the top. I go for as many tops as I can get so I don't mind sacraficing a couple leaves to get another fat top. Good luck!

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Is periodic, light defoliation ok for autoflowers?Hi Growmies! As a beginner, I decided to leave one plant untrained, but I am noticing some large fan leaves preventing light from reaching lower branches. Is it ok (or beneficial) to periodically remove a large fan leaf if it is blocking light? I hear autos are tricky.

Any idea about how to handle the crowding at top? Should I try to trim back or just leave it alone? Seems like the leaves are burning, but keeping flowers off the light.

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

Defoliation I did some major defoliation on my monsterprofit today( aprox 100 fan-leaves removed). I was wondering if i have to hold back on water now or add some extra. She gets a nettle/banana/fig thea once in every 3 watering times.
