I would say yes!! I also encourage light defoliation through all phases of life but the first couple weeks just be careful not to take too much! Take a couple one night see how it reacts and a couple more the next until you get the results you want!

Taking one here and there wont hurt, sometimes to make the bend its better to remove a leaf that fight it.
Good luck

LST possible?Is it possible or even beneficial to do some lst on them?
The internode space is very tight and the stems are not flexible, plus they started preflower.
They are 4 week old autoflowers and I feel like the lower leaves don't get enough light.Techniques. LST

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?5 months ago
