One of the grows that I'm working with is in the flowering stage and we're considering extreme defoliation. Has anyone tried this and, if so, did you feel like the risk was worth it?

How do you mean extreme?? Taking nearly all vegetative growth away??
I wouldnt do that.
I defoil as and when I think its needed,dont matter which stage the plant is at.
What is it you are trying to achieve from extreme defoil??
Got any pics you could show us give us an idea?

I defoliate all through veg and a fair amount in flower too. I think it's fine as long as you don't go too far. Having said that, the strain has a lot to do with it as some really don't like it. If you're going to do it,only take off what you need to. No point removing anymore than that and risk fucking it up

If it’s blocking buds or air circulation it’s coming off

I beg to differ I defoilate day 21 and 45 ish I read stages they don't need the wasted energy when we spend so much on foods pks etc since I defoiled no rots.. And 1.9gpw says good did side by side and I almost double on my defoils

Exactly what I do as Well.. if it's blocking or air can't get through ITS GONE lol but you can't over do it. a while back I red a book not sure what it was called I think marijuana bible.. it said in order to get the best yield possible you just leave the plant as is maybe do some LST but when you start removing any leaves that are not yellow or dead you mess with the plants metabolism to fight shit off and she can even die over night.. I usually take some leafs off in the middle that way light can go through it. Don't mess with it to much tho..
