TURBOAUTOFLOWERSEEDS

Removing leaves to expose bud sites is a popular technique borrowed from photoperiod cultivation. Applied to plants from auto flowering marijuana seeds, heavy defoliation often backfires, because the plant cannot pause to regrow lost foliage and instead loses photosynthetic capacity right when buds are forming. Taking a handful of large fan leaves that shade lower sites is generally safe. Anything more aggressive tends to reduce rather than increase the final harvest.
