Salut le jardinier , a l'ancienne je me rappel que les anciens me disait déjà de pas enlever les feuilles mais aujourd'hui quand je lis les guides de cultures je tombe sur ça : la défoliation. moi je dis qu'enlever les feuilles c'est niquer ta plante , les plantes ça respire par les feuilles. perso j'aime pas ça. bella cia

you really dont want to mess with a plant that's doing well as much as possible. Just defoliate approx 1 or 2 weeks before you flip to flower and one more time after the flower stretch if absolutely required, and it's basically almost never required. The best you can do to promote big buds and so on is actually lollipopping meaning removeing the bottom or bottom two flower nodes by using for example a razor blade once they start to appear. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Your plant is still pretty well laid out and not super bushy yet. I would hold off on defoliating or if you really want to do some, only do a little at a time to stress it less. being an auto any stress is not good. stress slows growth and autos only grow so much in their fixed life cycle. I would personally wait a little longer until it is done stretching and then start moving and tucking any large leaves blocking bud sites out of the way. If you cant easily move or tuck the leaves out of the way slowly remove them a little at a time.
