    Default Do or don't Defoliate ?

    First grow ever, so there's that.
    Also, I did a multi strain grow with autos and a photo. The photo is the only one left, but it was in veg for 10 weeks. I've topped it, FIMed it super cropped it, then a bend an secured. All for the experiment and learning. Know the sucker is out growing my confidence level and I'm a bit lost as to whether or not to defoliate.

    Strain - Sour Diesel advertised as 8 to 10 week flower
    14 days from flip

    Should I defoliate or not?

    If yes, any suggestions on how much and or when to do it?

    If no, is there any else I should do? Other than feed and water the regulars.

    Thanks Sad, is there anything else, other th regular maintenance that I should be planning for in the next 3 to 4 weeks? I just feel like I'm missing something because I did all the other training in veg. It's great if all I have to do is ride out the rest of the process until the last few weeks.

    I defoliate any fan leaves that’s blocking a bud site but try to leave alone into flower before flower little and often works well for me also with scrog everything below the net that could be nicking energy from your buds has to go imo

    Well, I did it.... I trimmed fan leaves covering bud sites and much of the undergrowth. Or, as much I was comfortable with.

    Before
    And
    After
