Should I defoliate more? I’ve just taken off about 10 of the bigger fan leaves off the main stem over the course of a week or so. If so, strategy?

There’s not much to do now. You did it well by doing a little everyday. Wait for some development and you will be able to make the difference between the main buds shoots, the second layers buds, and the weak shoots to cut off.

Hi there,This tips are I intended for indoor growing but could also be useful for you.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 at late flower stage could even lead to hermaphrodism.Happy Growing... ✌️
