I’d spread those top branches apart by tying those down
@chris_barfield Are u saying to cut lower branches off at the main stem or just trim leaves off the end? I will tie the top end as u suggested.

Cut the lower branches
Cut em off at the base and if you have an aloe plant in the house use the goo from itnon the cutting. It will heal overnight.

Day 53. Transition 1/14. When should she get her next haircut? She is growing quickly! Just trying to make sure she receives proper treatment. @chris_barfield @Todd.grobo @Bplatinum9

Personally id leave her to first days of flower and then a few leaves in the bottom left only. Others here are more aggressive

So many ways to manipulate your grow @Todd.grobo is definitely got a point considering your canapy isn’t that bushy at this point.
Standard information tells us its good to do the heaviest defoiliation a couple days before flower stage and then again a week or two after.
Like @Todd.grobo said someof us are heavy defoliaters, I have tried both ways so its important to find your own style dependent on the strain your growing at the time.

Yup. Ive only changed or adapted based on a new grow or maybe trying an auto vs photo. My rule of thumb is if theyre not getting light or blocking a flower site cut em

You defoliate dats before transition and then again at day21 … then from there you remove only leaves that are hiding bud sites throughout flower… if your plant can’t handle defoliation during flower then that’s a sign your genetics are weak

What’s the paper beneath the plant? Is it to reflect light or something?

Day 58. Transition 6/14. She is still continuing to stretch. @Bplatinum9 @Todd.grobo @chris_barfield @SilverGrobo

Yup looks good. Spread your leaves more to let more light down or youll be chopping off branches later to beefen up your top bud sites.

Running out of room to spread them! I have the center of the canopy opened up pretty nicely. I will see if I can manipulate them a little more. @Todd.grobo

You can push your fan leaves down under the bud sites or remove the ones blocking the bud sites.
