Dear Oldmanbud_50, Yes you can! Personally, I do hard defoliation at the week before flowering and on the 4th or 5th week of flowering. Besides those times, I just pluck away the ones shadowing the buds, or the below canopy. Check out my grow AK47.! Happy growing! Y

yes you can, they are only providing shade for that bud below, you still want to keep some on though as they do have a purpose but they can be removed to free up air flow so those buds cam grow in size and weight

Excessive leaf growth during flowering I am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8. The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?

Trimming around buds pre week 14 I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries?
