first grow, forum stomper in dwc

There is much controversy about defoliating vs not defoliating. The truth is when you defoliate you will cause stress no doubt about that. If you want to cause stress in the flowering stage (no grower wants that) by all means go ahead. I'd rather cause stress in the vegetative stage where it wont affect yield or flower production to halt.

At this stage she is a monsta 👏👏 i wouldnt cut on her i would just tuck her to open her up i would keep the leaves if they not dead more leaves = more energy= BIGGER PLANTS you are in flower u dont want to stress her in any way they will blow up be patience when they start u will be like👀👀👀👀👀👀 she is buliding up strenth plus u can feed her more hope this helps👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻

Hey so the 1st 2 pics do look pretty bushy, I can see that shes continually filling in. I think if you clipped the bottom most branches(any not getting good light) the other branches will get more power. I also think if you can keep examining her and remove any leaves blocking the budsites this also will help as they need good airflow and as strong of light as you can provide. There are also some bloom booster fattener nutrients out there, but I think this strain is only about 3 or so weeks from finishing, so that may not be so helpful. Keep up the great work, the plant does look great and I think time will fatten her up for you. Happy Healthy Growing to you congrats on the first dwc with this stomper.
