Optimal defoliation levels with closely packed buds

i dont do usually defoliation, because they are useful for many reasons for the plant, but if you want to do to improve airflow, then take carefully only that leaves what prevent airflow around the biggest colas.

I never, ever defoliate. Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth potential. Besides, if your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place. The rationale?...........because humans think they know better than a plant that is at the pinnacle of its evolution.

To increase air flow and light penetration to lower nodes. If needed its useful to prevent budrot. but so are some good fans. Good Luck!

Hola !!!! La razon de la defoliacion es para dar ventilacion a los cogollos. Mas ventilacion menos humedad menos proliferacion de hongos. Tambien se puede hacer en la etapa de prefloracion para generar mas penetracion de luz en las zonas mas bajas de la planta. Tus plantas se ven geniales no necesitan defoliacion
