Defoliation durring veg?

I do it. When it gets to bushy crazy i remove everythingbthat are griwing inwird. Sucker shoot groing inward befor they get big and really in thevway and inward ponting leaf. Thuscway i can get better air flow while maintaining the canopy at a manageble shape.. like ither mention. Its better to do small at a time. Try and understand where and how a leaf or a branch will grow and how it will interact in the future, and overtime yiu'll get goid at removing undesirable branchung befir they developoe and wast time and energy. Rule of thumb. If it aint blocking anything then it is more then likely useful and catching something..

You absolutely can. In fact, there are many who stress defo in small bits vs. Giant single sessions. Selective pruning to free up growth tips and create better light exposure is a great option. I’d only temper that opinion with the knowledge that defoing in veg. Is kinda counter productive and should only be employed after other options such as leaf tucking and lst have been fully exhausted. Or for specific purposes such as in mainlining applications. But that’s a different topic altogether. For this plants part looks like a good job gett’n er bent over and spread out so clipp’n a couple leaves might help in your case👍. Best of luck with it.

Hello, yea you can do some defoliation but not too much, just do it to make the tops available for the light to penetrate so they can grow better. Hope it helps Good grow.
