Everyday defoliation. Is this correct?

Darksoulstarted grow question 4 years ago

i'm making a scrog with 4 royal gorilla q they were topped twice. Usually I take 3 to 4 fan leaves from each plant a day, cut with scissors to prevent them from shading budsites. I do this every day. Is this correct or am I stressing the plant? they started blooming this week

Я бы рекомендовал удалять не больше 1/3 от всех развитых листьев у растения! Дефолиация - даёт свет новым точкам роста, но нельзя каждый день её поддавать стрессу и что-то срезать! Она будет цвести очень медленно, друг! Делайте дефолиацию один раз в 1-2 недели и вы не ощутите проблем и тормоза в развитии! 👆 Удачи, друг! ✊😇

It's ok to pluck one or two every few days.. but I wouldn't make it a daily habit. I'd lollipop and a light defoliation when you flip to flower.. then about the end of the 3rd week into flowering a good 1/3 defoliation of large fan leaves.. After this point the plant stops regrowing new fan leaves and you won't want to remove anything.. Hope this helps.. Happy growing. 👊

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there. And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now
