@Stick, thanks for the advice 👍much appreciated! I never usually have to defoliate this early but she's just so bushy it's unreal. Thanks again! 🙌

Hi @Maxranger! You can remove leaves at a very young age, if you do it slightly (2 leaves at a time, max), it can be useful if those leaves are creating shades onto lower stems. However, a real defoliation (more than 2 leaves) shouldn't be done until week 3-4, and only if the plant is healthy. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

Personally I trim once near the end of veg then again about 1/2way through flowering. I also pull any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed along the way. Hope this helps. Good luck!👍
