Should I defoliate at this stage?

julian22started grow question 5y ago

Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it. Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healty

I think you mean "topping", that is cutting the top of the plant, to allow more lateral growth (branching). They're ready to be topped, if you meant that by defoliating :) Looking forward to see more from your diaries!

And btw I think it is starting to flower already so better not to disturb it with too much shocking at this point

Hi there! I most definitely would not defoliate yet. If you decide to do it I suggest that you wait atleast two weeks more, when the plant is much bigger and bushier and the leaves are actually in the way of something. Be patient with her and she looks good by the way! 👌
