I do it throughout the whole grow. I do leaf tucking, you take a fan lean that is covering a node below and tuck it under so the node can receive light. If the leaf can't be tucked or blocks another light snip it at the base. This will give the nodes more light allowing for more productivity. If you remove one or a couple every day the plant never gets stressed. This is the best method. Although some like my sour stompers and my Mango smile needed HEAVY leaf cuttings multiple times. I did it like 4 or 5 times in 12 weeks. I mean I stripped like half the leaves on them 4 or 5 times. Plus I was plucking leaves daily. Some strains need it more then others. No specific time as each strain is different and even each pheno of each strain is different. Please click my name and look at my sour stomper grow, and click through weeks 3 4 5 and so on and I posted my leaf cuttings so you can see when I did it and how much I removed. It scared me to do it so I posted pictures and documented it in the diary. It will help you. Please consider selected me as the answer to this question so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate it growmie 🙏 😃

Hello, as you are growing an automatic Plant i would not talking about deleafing leaves are the motor of the plant, if you take away leaves, she tries to reproduce, and that slows down your automatic plant with alimited lifespan wait until stretch is done, then you see with leaves ou can tuck away
