I would cut the lower portions out and defoliation on any leaves covering bud site unless it is super thick. Then thin out a bit. I don't cut too much out because they are the plants source of energy. Good luck

If you’re in flower, I would wait for two weeks before defoliating.

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flower
I am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

Hey, I was wondering about conformation and how I should approach these potential males. Should I pull them now? It has been about 10 days, since hairs appeared on the other 2. Probably going in to flower by the end of the week. Should I leave the males until then?

Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain

I was really careful when defoliating so far and the plant is really bushy now. Should I remove big leaves blocking lower colas for more light penetration at this stage, or should I wait for stretching to end?
