Hello 😉 when the plant has developed its first 5 or 6 nodes.It is important to note that this technique always applies to a growing plant, never to flowering plants.

Defoliating during flowering
I'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?

When doing defoilation I teilled off all the fan leaves except four at each top. My question is how much of the other branches should I trim off too? Also, should you trim a bit at a time so there is not much shock or everything at once? Any advice is appreciated. Cheers.

Looking for lollipopping advice
How and when to properly do lollipopping? Is it a single or a multiple day process, what would cause less stress? I wanted to do it on more than one day, try a slow process, just remove from bottom to top whatever won't get enough light, any suggestions?

Is it too late to put in a trellis net in my tent?if so, is there anything I can do so my buds won't touch the light because it seems like this plant wants to touch it and she keeps growing. Will she ever stop growing vertically?

The buds are growing and I have questions if I should defoliate in a so small plant. Should I? What else can I do to increase yields? Is it close to harvest time?

Defoliation 6 weeks in flower?
My plant, named A), is 6 weeks into flower and is looking great, but I'm worried about the density of foliage in regard to bud mold. Should I defoliate? I have been taking the odd fan leaf here and there, just don't know how far I should take it this late.
