KushGANGanswered grow question 3 years ago Hello you can defoliate because you are still in the week 3 of flowering. So do it before it is too late but don't defoliate too much because defoliation is a stress. Just remove leaves that makes too much shadow for lower branches. Good luck. Otherwise your plant is very nice. Buds are frosty yet. You will have a beautiful harvest. Bye
