Typically you want to thin out the leaves right before you flip to flower leaving enough time for your plant to recover before flipping. Then 18-21 days into flower do a second thinning. You don’t want to stress the plant right after you flipped so I would wait until day 18-21 of flower then remove leaves.Hi there, vey much a beginner here. On 2nd grow atm. First one survived but very poor yield (3oz from 4 plants, stardog)
I’ve attatched some photos of my current grow. Plants been in flower for a week or so. Spent a good 3 months in veg as first plants took way longer than expected. Because of this they’re quite large with lots of leaves as it stands.
Do I need to trim some leaves? I don’t want to waste nutrients which could be going to the larger buds at the top.
Any help is much appreciated, I understand it’s probably very simple stuff and tedious for you guys to answer but really want to progress as this is turning into a fun hobby for me!
If you need anymore info please ask.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah that makes sense, which leaves would you suggest trimming once I hit the 3 week period?Typically you want to thin out the leaves right before you flip to flower leaving enough time for your plant to recover before flipping.

Thanks man! Yeah this one has gone a bit tits up I won’t lie, they’re too big partially due to being on veg for wayyyy to long! Got some little baby’s in which I’ll bend when they start to come through, cheers for the advice!Another thing for next time u wanna bend and shape them girls to flatten the canopy out a bit you want shorter wider plants indoor more than the natural Christmas tree shape as grow lights only penetrate so far into your canopy
I like to defoliate the lower 1/3 of the plant then thin out as you go up. Look for leaves that are overlapping and trim them and then look for leaves facing in towards the center of the plant. It takes practice and you will learn as you go, you can also google lollipopingThanks for the reply! Yeah that makes sense, which leaves would you suggest trimming once I hit the 3 week period?
Defoliation definitely puts stress on a plant, sure removing a few leaves here or there won’t stress but if you lollipop or heavy defoliation it will stress them.I trim leaves whenever. Doesn't stress them. But to answer your question only a couple larger leaves that are blocking new leaves . New leaves generate more photosynthesis then older ones.
