Yes u can defoliate but do it over a week span. U don't want to strip them all at once. I strip 50% of what I want. Then 3 or 4 days later finish defoliate. And u only want to defoliate to expose bud sites. Plant still needs leaves to grow.

@VikRik Now is the perfect time to remove fan leaves and the lowest bud sites as they won't come to much anyway but the main thing is to allow more air circulation in and around your developing buds.
Hot humid air can become trapped in a too dense canopy so I YES I would recommend a liitle defoliation
for the purpose of creating extra air flow Hope this helps Mate Good luck đ

2 weeks flowering and only one plant is starting to show just one tiny set of pistols that I could see. Should they not have started showing sex by now? My tent has pinhole light leaks around the seams, is this enough light to fuck with my plants?Week 7

Hi growers! Should I change my light schedule for my plants when they come to flowering period? Now I have grow-LEDs (300W) at 18 hr/day and daylight-LEDs (120W) at 24 hr/day. Plants start to get bushy and start dwarfling - i'm concerned I have too much light on them.Week 5

Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage?
Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility.
Many thanks.Week 13

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks đ
