@DudeGrowsWeed, thanks for the advice dude :+1: it's great having so many experienced guys to learn from.

@Stick, thanks for the advice :+1:much appreciated! I never usually have to defoliate this early but she's just so bushy it's unreal. Thanks again! :raised_hands:

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! :facepunch:
