Panowie i Panie jak myślicie przyciąć delikatni...

Just remember,- Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth. Feed them with fulvic acid, humic acid or amino acids (or all 3!) for enhanced flowering/growth in general. I personally do not believe in defoliation, removing healthy, green, energy producing leaves and forcing your plants to grow new healthy green leaves seems rather pointless to me, and no doubt the plant thinks so too! Go with a bit of tying over or "low stress training" as people call it, to open up the plant structure a bit, but there is no need to remove any leaves just for the sake of it. If your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place! Besides, within a few days, any branches growing under any leaves will grow out from underneath them anyhow, making leaf removal pointless. A bit of well considered, gentle "lollipopping" can reduce the amount of small rubbishy buds you have to deal with after harvest, but it is also not necessary or essential. After close to 40 years of growing, these days I tend to interfere as little as possible with my plants, apart from a bit of training, and leave them to do their own thing and believe my results have improved since doing so and my plants also seem happier too. Just like nature intended. It is only egotistical man who thinks he knows better than nature and thousands of years of evolution. Sure we can provide optimal grow conditions, but removing leaves for no real reason and just because humans think they know better than a plant that is at the pinnacle of efficiency....... I only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose! Hope this helps, Organoman.
