Defoliation

What do you guys think about removing the 2 top leaves too give the lower branches some more light too come out? Would this be bad for the plant or would it be fine ? I’ve already removed the 2 first leaves that first sprouted on the plant and it didn’t seem like it affected it

There’s no need to remove that leaf. There are absolutely situations where you would want to remove that leaf but it will be in flower/late flower and you’re not there yet. It’s not blocking anything important atm and your lower canopy won’t suffer as a result. Good luck

I would! As long as you don't take more than 25% of the total foliage at a time, you shouldn't have issues.

You can always try tucking the leaf under. Be careful removing too many leaves, it can slow your growth and you will have a longer veg period.

In veg I wouldn't remove anything untill your about ready to flip it to flower. All you would do by defoliation now is slow the growth of the plant. 🤘😤
