Hi there,Carried out defoliation 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 flowering stage could even lead to hermaphrodism. Happy Growing... ✌️

A lil late but you can...I usually defoliate at end of four weeks as the plants are about done using larger fan leaves. Remember leaves are the solar panels and are needed for great growth.

Take in to consideration that most quality LED’s only penetrate about 12 inches (25cm plus minus) in to the canopy. Thus anything below this will probably just amount to popcorn nugs(fluffy small buds). I would personally consider removing the growth below that to avoid the plant wasting energy and nutrients on the bottom growth. Also be careful when defoliating as to not remove leaves directly connected to bud sites as this could prevent buds from forming properly. Sometimes less is more so i would definitely consider defoliating the bottom part and channeling the energy to your top growth. Good luck and happy growing!

No you shouldn’t defoliate at this stage. The plants are going to use their leaves to lay on and hang each other’s when the buds are going to become heavy by the end of flowering.
