This late in flower there's no reason to continue doing more heavy defoliation. The last big defoliation should happen around the second week after u flip to flower. Let them grow out they are looking happy and healthy! Will be a nice run. 🤘😤

Normally the leaves should fall off on their own... Personally, I don't remove them... Although quite a few people defoliate in the last week.

Knowing when and how to defoliate is causing me headache. Please have a look at week 15 pics and tell me how much more defoliation do I need. I'm worried about stunting the growth of the buds.There is too much of a shaded undergrowth.

When temps increase due to warmer weather do most people raise lights or reduce wattage? I guess different growers use both methods to lower canopy temps but I can't see that this question has been asked very much. Thanks

To trim or not to trim this bushy Hindu Kush bi ch What could or should I do regarding trimming at this stage? Removing lower leaves or upper? My concern is that while healthy it is very dense, nodes are tight, and I think this might impact yield. 3ft would be my max height (6ft tent), and I will likely flip wk 7/8. Thank you!
