Defoliation

Hello, friend! Perform defoliation no more than once a week, and make sure that at least 2/3 of the large developed leaves remain on the plant. Only remove leaves that have already developed and will not grow any further! Try not to remove everything indiscriminately, but only the foliage that obstructs light from reaching the new growth points and the plant's internodes! At a time, you can remove 1/3 of all the large leaves on the plant! But no more than 1/3 (30%)!!! 👆 Leaves act as batteries for the plant's flowers and new shoots, so the large leaves are also necessary for the plant; they are never superfluous for the plant. Moreover, the plant expects to have them until it decides to shed them itself! Good luck, friend! ✊😇

Hey growmie, I defoliate once a week if need until flower or at least until the stretch stops.Wouldnt do more than that could stress the plant out. Hopefully this was helpful and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I pluck leaves here and there throughout my entire grow, just not excessively. Then i do a full defoliation of the bottoms and some top areas either before flowering or right as it's beginning in those first 2 weeks. I did do a "Schwazzing " before and that has a bit more specific defoliation schedule, one heavy before switching to flowering and then one more heavy at 21 days of flowering.👍

I like to do it in the stretch, just to help the plant stay shorter through that time. The stretch is the only time I stress them a little. Cheers
