    Default Plants now budding - should I remove leaves without buds?

    Hi guys - pretty much self-explanatory. My autoflowerers are budding well but some leaves have none. Should I just (carefully) emove these to open up more light? Thanks again.

    What is this obsession of stripping plants of their leaves?

    Improving air flow is one thing but you talk of stripping far too much!

    If leaf tucking is not enough, then I selectively remove leaves.

    Damaged and discoloured first and then remove up to 10% to open up the budsites and improve airflow.

    ive seen some idiots in my time stripping all the leaves off, leaving just bud
    i prefer to leave shit alone but trim the underneath where light doesnt reach
    if there is any huge leaves on top half like indica dominant strains, i tuck them unless they are huge then i remove them.
    if i help drop a THANKS its free
