Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 flowering

Have a read of this: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial This is for fems. But sure if you look down the choices your browsers bar you'll be brought to Go into 1st link for flowering..remove all fan leafs up and down the node (leaving sugar leafs be) and leave 2 fan leafs on top of each node. It really is a good read Good luck

Thanks Terperter for the answer. I forgot to mention I removed lower bud sites that weren’t getting any light, only leaving the top sites and the growth right underneath it (I guess that’s what’s called lollipopping). Could that hurt my yield considering the plant is bushy as heck with about 25 top bud sites (with 2 main colas) and hasn’t stretched yet? Those tiny growths I removed, which were already low would have been ever lower after stretch, right? Please enlighten a newbie!

it is the right move, now the first 3 weeks of flower its time to give all the bud sites the space they need try tucking the stems under the net so u make an even scrog
