Defoliation & pruning

[spliffas]

Hello. I am into 9th day when 12/12 , and I started to see unproductive branches and fan leaves shading some of my bud sites. I took out old yellow leaves, but can I do a bit of defolation or lowest/ unproductive branches cutting? Thanks every1 for help!

I do my defo during veg and after the stretch in flower normally around day 21 of flower.

You cut only leaves or lower branches too? U do it in one go, yea? Thanks. I am first time grower.

I cut any lower branch that won't get light and shade leaves that cover bud sites. You don't want to prune/defo more than 30% of the plant at a time causes to much stress.

From the pics it looks like you may have a slight N deficiency hard to really tell from the pics.

Thank you guys. Did some defoliation today. I am not very comfortable doing that, so I just took lower yeallow leaves and some fan leaves that shades my bud sites. How to lower down humidity in my tent, any ideas? (Without expensive items, please ) And as promised pics without lights on:

Hey nice job on the defol your lady's are looking mighty fine. I tend to second guess myself when pruning the lower stuff as well. Have a good day!

The way I keep my humidity stable is constant air flow. You can pick up a cheap exhaust fan at home depot I think the cheapest I saw was $19.99 it's a good investment.

Haha thanks, u still think I have nutes deficency?

I have 3 small fans running now in the tent and one extractor fan which pulls air out from the tent and it is one way vent system with carb filter attached at the back. Just after giving my ladies water, hunidity from 52 went to 62. I have my tent where I sleep now because of my circumstances (we have new person in our household) and probably my gf won’t be happy with one more fan i was thinking about dehumidifier like this one attached in the pictures below:

They look fine to me just keep an eye on the yellowing. Your doing great man! I've never used a dehumidifier like that so im not sure how well it works. Only one way to find out right!

I will try this and let u all know as fan is not the best idea because of my gf and those serious dehumidifiers cost serious money (4me) and I only doing this grow so buying an expensive dehumidifier would be a loss for me. I tried that type dehumi in my room earlier (when not growin) and it worked. Can’t tell you how it worked, but it worked. (think). It looks like older bottom leaves turns yellow and as I said I am not very comfortable cutting leaves, better less, but I will be guaranteed at the end that I didn’t lost any harvest because of dumb pruning. I believe that in my case pruning less is more thanks everyone!!
