LST and Leaf Tucking Questions

[ferrarosnose]

I just finished doing a big round of LST and leaftucking on my gorilla glue autos. Being that they are 33 days old, is this the last LST that should be done since branches are geetting thicker or do you do it longer? The pipe cleaners never held a few of the stalk bases in place so now i have some stalks bent over at 45 degrees--does this matter? At what point can I remove some of these lower leaves?
Thanks for the help

I train to keep them out of the lights and to make sure I have no wasted canopy. If that means super cropping in the middle of flower I do it. YMMV

You don't have a dense canopy to warrant removing leaves imo. Is there a particular reason you want to?

I have some glues as well, I have done some LST throughout this whole time and a bit of selective defoliation. They’re on day 35

I've defoliated the crap out of some plants and others I have lightly defoliated. I got 4 auto cheese going from fast buds at 10 weeks today. The plant I did the heaviest defoliation in barely has any fan leaves but shes got the fattest buds out of the 4 plants. Just dont defoliate in flower when they're budding. But in veg I defoliate every plant to let more light to the lowers. But you should not do it until you gain more experience if your starting off.

Next time you LST start a little earlier also. But I never remove lower leaves. I only remove upper leaves blocking light to the lowers when I do defoliate. Other than that it's looking good growmie. If you have questions dont be afraid to post them on this site. Lots of great ppl willing to help here. If your plants get too tall you can always super crop them so they dont grow too close to the lights during the stretch. Best of luck
