I have performed lst through out the week but it seems like alot of the bigger fan leaves are getting in the way. Should I do some type of defoliation?

I usually just tuck the big leaves that are in the way in the early stages. I'll do my first defoliation at the beginning of flower and then another on at week 4 of flower. From then on I just remove leaves that are blocking prime bud site. ✌️

This is up to you. Personally I do a light defoliation in autos to make them focus the energy elsewhere —- not a full blown lollipop like photos, but just the lower branches, and some bigger fan leaves. You look like you are doing great! ✌️🏻💚🌿🌿

keep up with the LST for a couple of weeks before you consider defoliation - my current grow is LST week 5 and I am only co sidering defol now but probably will not do it

Lst is looking in point at this stage. Make sure you continue to tie down her branches as she grows. I use those plastic bendy things too. They’re new to me, but I’m lovin’ em. As far as defoliation- I’d hold off- at least for now. Definitely tuck the larger leaves under the bud sites for now. I’d reevaluate removing leaves until she’s covered with pistols. At that point just look at her from above and take what you need to open up your canopy
