Defoliation too much？

hey there Lil Teddy, short answer is : yes. Now for the long answer. See what you did to remove the fan leafs from the side shoots ? that's no good. same with defoliation during flower, should always avoid that. Next time what you want to do is to remove only the bottom-most leafs, and the very bottom flower nodes. That's because these will make popcorn buds so they are useless anyway. anything else is basically useful and remember : defoliation is a high stress technique, sometimes it's okay, but if you do what you did it will cause stress at exactly the wrong moment. Hope this helps ! 🚀
