Every action you make with the plant needs a purpose. A goal if you may. Ask yourself, before undertaking anything, what are you trying to achieve? If you can't answer this, don't do anything. I think there was a miscommunication or a misunderstanding. You can defoliate everything but the last top leaves when the plant is nearly finished bloom stage and is going into its last two weeks of life: the fattening up stage. Up until then, you need leaves for photosynthesis and transpiration. Now you don't have any leaves to complete this. Your plant will now need time to recover. Give it lots of love and affection but foremost time to process what just happened to it. With a bit of luck, she'll recover during the next two weeks. Otherwise, you just stunted her growth and with that the end yield. Good luck further. I hope she is forgiving!

Ugh....stop listening to your friends. Really even be cautious of what some of the people on here tell you too. Several of these guys are more versed with ChatGPT than growing plants. Others preach "the way"...it's however they learned to grow. It might work well for them and their environment but that doesn't make it the best or only way for yours. Early on while learning the ropes it's best to lean on a trusted site for your info. I like growweedeasy.com . They provide good basic info for newbies in plain language and offer suggestions for just about everyone's growing situation and skill/knowledge level.

You might not end this grow with much flower, but you've learned a valuable lesson. Plan your veg to get the plant the shape you want and leave a foot or 2 above for stretch and when they go into flower let them do their thing and only interfere if you have to.

You are going to end a with a very slow growing plant thats going to take 5 months or more to finish and end up harvesting a quarter of an ounce if you are lucky. Since it is already well into flowering, there can be no more growth or recovery, just the final maturation of the flowers that still remain. In my opinion, just cut your losses and start again. There is no need to ever defoliate to "increase bud size",,,,,,,,,,that is pure ghetto science. More leaves = more energy being made = more (bud) growth.

think of foliage as solar panels for the plants energy to grow and flower. you removed all of them. the plant will grow very slow and have very little energy to make new growth. and since its in flower now, it will not try to grow new foliage. it will only continue to try to flower with little foliage it has left. You have therefore greatly reduced harvest size, and likely potency as well by doing this. Just take it as a learning lesson. removing leaves should ONLY be done for the purpose of opening up shaded nodes to create light penetration to the bud sites. anything outside of that is non sense IMO.

Well, you stripped all the foliage... Exactly what benefit does that provide? Just cause some monkey made up a "technique" doesn't mean it's worth a shit. If it's in flower, you probably delayed it or caused an early onset with that sort of stress. Don't listen to that firend anymore. Removed some growth tips/axillary buds is fine to reduce larf, but don't prune off the leaves. Also, this is far too late for a lolipop / schwazzing or whatever nonsense label is used to describe this "technique". it'll still be fine, but it'll either be slowed down and/or yield will take a small hit... worst-case you shocked the shit out of the plant and it just sits there for a few days recovering. it'll be ery easy to overfeed the plant,so continue as you were, but if any signs of tox buildup, dial back. Leaves are storage, and there's no more storage, lol. Plus all th enutes it did build up were cut off, so a ton of your time and resources you invested the last few weeks was just thrown out in the trash. hopefully, the plant isn't too deep into flower that vege growth ceasest.. you need to hope it can still grow leaves and elongate stems so that proper buds form. that thing is at least 21 days into flower apples to apples comparison to a photoperiod. The terminal buds are fairly well-formed already. you might only have 2 more weeks of good vege growth before it stops unless this caused a delay in flower.. then all you did is delay how long it should have taken to have a similar result.
