    Default De Leaf or not De Leaf that is the Question

    Hi folks , haven't got a diary up for this one but just thought id ask the debatable DE leafing question, below is a pic of some 'cheese' that I vegged for slightly longer than I wanted. now that I've flipped them a few weeks ago they've gone wild filling the tent and starting to climb the sides. This is my 3rd grow. My First grow I plucked and pruned and tied and teased.My second grow I let them go wild all the way through. I've pulled some big fan leaves off to get some light down low but every day I look back in there its full of leaves again. I've got these up to 2.0 EC and 5.6 PH and they seem to be enjoying it albeit going a little bit mental. So what's the opinions ? a little plucking ? get the hedge trimmer out ? or leave alone to do their own thing ?
    Got some Blue dream and strawberry cheesecake seeds started so that's going to be my next diary coming in the next week or so once some action starts.
    cheers

    There are supporters on the both sides mate. Some will say do it , other will say no. I would personally remove the lower growth 1/3 and keep tucking the big fan leaves that are on the very top..

    Yeah same here.. further you go in flower.. more leaves you're starting to lose. They just start dying one by one especially the ones from the bottom

    I'm about 3 weeks flipped so reckon I'll go for a good plucking session after work and get some light down through the undergrowth. I did notice a big drop in yield by letting them grow wild last time. I've switched from clay pebbles to grodan cubes this time and seems a lot easier to control ph and plants seem a lot meatier.
