@Aeromatics, Yeah, that’s pretty much how I handle it too. I’ll only take off the really big fan leaves if they’re shading important sites. Other than that, I totally agree: less defoliation seems to keep the plants happier overall.
The one thing I always make sure to do, though, is a proper lollipop at the end of week 2 / start of week 3 of flower... everything down low goes at that point. :ok_hand::seedling:
@AlpenZilla, I've been leaving them up on my most recent auto and I 100% see the difference! I pulled one or two of the very bottom ones today but they were really buried under the canopy. Looking great this week on your end!
It really is an extremely fast plant. I have hardly been able to keep up with the normal fertilization scheme, and it seems to be very hungry for CalMag.
