Can I defoliate?Hey guys, I was thinking about going on a mega defoliation mission tomorrow and chopping almost all the fan leaves off my plant to free up some space for the buds. Probably about 2 weeks away from harvest so is this a good idea and would it help the plant at all?Other. General questions

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.5y ago

Help me Understand Defoliation and Pruning around 17-21 dayscofStill learning lots. I’m at day 18 of Flower and would like some feedback on what’s considered 1/3 of the plant for lollipopping effectively. Do I take the bud sites and fan leaves from everything under 1/3 of the plants total height or do I take bottom third existing foliage?10mo ago

Defoliate further or stop?I am in 3rd week of flower. I did defoliation right before switch to flower and at the end of second week. That was 5 days ago.
I feel I want to defoliate more, to expose more lower buds to light, but I afraid it will be contra productive. What do you think?Week 9
