Is it fine to defoliate during flowering?

[desplegado]

I'm just wondering if it's fine to defoliate or take off fan leaves that are blocking but sites I have this 1 kinda bushy plant and just tryna see if it's ok to

It's an autoflower ab 2-3 maybe 4 weeks into flower

A lot of growers defoliate day 1 and 21 of flower but not sure about autos though

That's what im stuck on I'm a new grower so idk

leave alone, autos need as much energy to flower properly. thats my opinion anyway

from experience, leave alone cause it can cause them to stop, they need as little intervention as possible.

With autos I try to avoid any defoliation or topping to get best yield. A strong main light helps with this a bunch.

If the plant is healthy, it’s ok to take a few….but only if they are blocking bud sites or if they need to be removed to increase airflow.
