Burmeseanswered grow question 3 years ago Hi there, IMO, your plant doesn't seem to need any defoliation yet.You can still tucking the fan leaves.Those fan leaves are acted like extra sources of energy for plants.Recommend to defoliate at the start of flowering circle and again at 3rd week of flower or at the end of stretching period.Later that period ,you shouldnβt stress the plant anymore and defoliation at late flower stage could even lead to hermaphrodism.Happy Growing... βοΈ
