Hi!
It depends on the overall health and the amount defoliated.
If you take few leafs out of healthy plant she wont even notice but if you take lots of them, she will focus energy on growing leafs for a day or two before continuing grow. If the plant is unhelathy the defoliation can be much bigger stress and take lot longer to bounce back.
The reason you don't do it all the time is to save time and it is not beneficial to the plant to remove lots of leafs all the time. The leafs are important part of the plant and needs to be removed only if they are really in the way or not getting enough light anymore. Buds don't need light but leafs does

Small EOL bananas, longer riping worth it?I've got some small bananas on my Euphoria from RQS (in my diary). I was close to harvest (probably in a few days). Do you think I can wait few more days for the trichomes to get more ripe without having to worry about pollination and microseeds? Just asking out of curiosity :)

Flushing with distilled water and citric acidHi guys! Decided to finish my diary (Pineapple Express), which I should have finished a little earlier.
The question is as follows. I decided to flush with distilled water and citric acid. Is this ok or not a very good idea?
Thanks!Week 13

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.
