Too much foliage? Not too sure.

Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

A leaf here and there won't hurt her. I would defoliate every 3 or 4 days or just do it all in one go after the stretch. It looks healthy so will be able to tolerate a bit of stress.

Have found the leaves with the red stems are good candidates for de leafing.

Oh and the DLI is around 48 mol/m²/d. I know it's a little high, but it helps keep the outside intensity over 40. Light distance is 22".

Thanks for the responses! The light is dead center in the tent. All the plants are centered in each quadrant. As for rotating them, I give a quarter turn everyday. Can't really center the big one. The setup is kinda locked in place. I was thinking the same thing about defol after the stretch. Just needed some other opinions. And I did consider training her out more, but I didn't want to over take the be other quadrants. Definitely could have done a lot more I think. I've been removing the ties as need be. But there's still a few more on there. Branches are pretty stiff now.

I agree with ggs I think it looks good and don’t stress her once in flower and put that big girl in the center. You can cur your tops off and let the bottom bid go another week and fill out more also

Sry about the 2nd mes. Long mes get 7hr bans As she is. I don't see any ties. How are her nodes? If they're some what still pliable. You could open it up so as much foliage gets light as possible. As that's where u need light on the leafs.. After pre flower is over. Then you need light hitting the bud sites /sugars hitting your calyxs..

Well,, sadly, there's not much you can do about it now mate, you're in the height of pre flower. I do see you have space in your tent. That's a big girl in the back left. Id suggest you move that into the center of the light or move you light back, as all your plants look like they're at the back & side no? Generally rotating them is a good idea. After the stretch is over. Go ahead and defol. But, not now. Not on an auto in pre flower.
