    Heya guys im on 28th day of flower defoliated right before swtich, 10 days later as well and after another 10 days or so defoliated the bushier girls and now they seem to need another defo, all bag seeds, they seem to like the defo so far. they look hybrids, grew them to 50x50cm and 60cm tall under 400w mh\hps.. so defo or not to defo that is the question

    heya mate im not a big fan about the idea of taking off potential buds. am though a big fan of using only the leaves my plants need to thrive and willing to have a stress if its gona benefit me with yields u see? the only question is how hard would the stress be in comparison to the light penetration which is the number one source of energy imho

    yea no wa ya mean matey then it directs all its energy to them main colas but i would be more concered about the stress causing them to hermie. u might get away with trimmin the bottom quarter

    Here is what I've done on my last grow to what seems to be good results but I'm no expert and i find this an issue among growers with many different opinions.

    Every two to three weeks I've taken off any of the older larger fan leaves to let the light get through and get to the buds and also to let the smaller leaves catch up and take their place, now when I say I've taken them off, I've gone on the side of caution as to not go too far and still leave a nice canopy to transfer nutrients round the plants and to catch the light.
