Flipped to 12/12 at the start of the week..the girls are killing it.
I always defoliate heavy end of veg transitioning into flower.
Alot of people say dont defoliate your plant needs solar panels or it'll stress your plant and hurt your yeilds.
Wrong. Anything thats green on your plant is a solar panel. You dont need a 1000 of them. Your plant can only process so many nutes, water, sunlight etc....in a day.
