Hello, my plants are very bushy, I would like to do a better LST and defoliation to allow each leaf to get some light. Do you have any tips on good LST and proper defoliation? I don't know what to cut or how to space out the stems. Thanks!
cut he inward facing leves, as they have nowhere to go. alternate leaves on other axis so the don't overlap each other and you don't lose canopy surface area. evenly distribute the pruning. Keep as much as you can. leaves provide more than just energy from photosynthesis.. they also provide a buffer for imbalance of nutrients.
I have a diary call Larry lemon that I did a daily picture after lst. From seed to smoke. It may provide some insight. Not every leaf will catch light. Those plants will get taller.
