Defo or not

Hi there,only defoliate if there is a good reason.Like do some defoliation to lower down tent humidity,to make a good air flow if too bushy.Defoliate some leaves If they are damaged or shaded below the canopy.May be some lollipopping if there are too many popcorn buds underneath.Other than those, shouldn’t do.Those fan leaves are acted like extra sources of energy for plants.Only recommend to defoliate at the start of flowering circle and again at 3rd week of flower or at the end of stretching period.Later that period ,you shouldn’t stress the plant anymore and let her grow happily until harvest.Defoliation at late flower stage could even lead to hermaphrodism.Happy Growing... ✌️

Looks beautiful to me! Leaves make bud, leave em on! (Mostly that is, except where they aren't getting along and trying to shade each other out)

Hey mate, I'd recommend only defoliating what you need to. Just take the big fans that are blocking bud sights. Make sure you have some decent fans and you'll be good. Cutting away leaves is going to stress the plant and possibly stunt for a little while depending on how many you take. Plus if you have the space for the extra leaves that means your plant can create more energy. They grow lots of leaves for a reason. I dont think it's worth, taking them without a reason. Hope this helps 🙂

Yea defo leave 20 2 40% at top tho will help keep the bids growing bigger but defo take a lot of th bottom make it breeze easy bro
