First time grower here I have Lemon Skunk, Northern Lights#5, and Purple Punch happy in a 4X4 week 5 of veg.
I am curious, should I defoliate? I’ve been told that autos don’t like that, but I’d like to hear what this community and Chris think!
Thank you everyone.




With autos, I typically defoliate around day 30 since sprout. Then if I feel necessary, I'll defoliate within the first 3 weeks of flowering when the plant is still stretching.
