I certainly do - and have done just today! They're not going to amount to even a half-way decent popcorn bud so why waste the plant's energy on them? Snip, snip!!
Good luck!

I remove them. I call them "suckers" because the growth is the same as a tomato plant's "suckers"

Defoliate more?Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.Week 7

When to start defoliate?When should i start to defoliate?
I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow.
I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot.
(if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

Any suggestions?These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?
