No point if you are about to harvest, removing any leaves will just reduce your plants capacity to produce energy and this will slow maturation.
Hope this helps,....... Organoman.

If your flushing already it won't make much difference , unless you have bud sites that are completely shaded by fan leaves. It's never too late to get more light to flower sites.

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?

Did I remove too much growth?Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves.
She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy.

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?
