Would it be necessary ? if you are adjusting your defoliation by only removing the leaves that are blocking light to lower bud sutes

I truly believe you should just leave it at this phase. I would leave photos at this phase.. Those buds are fairly developed and any unnatural defoliation you do will cause stress, minor stress mind you. But in my firm opinion it's more about Light intensity then how many buds are getting light. If you have the light your buds will thrive.

It looks pretty open to me. I'll snip off a fan leaf if it's blocking a lower top. In veg I'll take a hand full of leaves off every day. That's how I get close to 100 tops per plant lol or close to it. In flower I might take off a few leaves every day but only if they are blocking.

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y

Flowering Defoliation Question Hey All, I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

I flipped these to flower 8 days ago. 2 days ago I gave them 1/2 strength feeding of G.O. Go Box according to their feed schedule. I noticed that the new growth seems more yellow and droopy. Also, for 3 weeks the NL plant (bottom right) is half green half yellow. Any ideas?
