I have been pruning/thinning out the canopy quite a bit on this run as an experiment just for shits n giggles to see if it makes a difference to yield. Iv done it in 3 stages so far which were quite heavy at day 7/14/21 and will continue to take a little here and there over the remaining flower to open up any covered sites :)
hey bud I'm a habitual canopy thinner but i don't like to touch it till about week 5 of flower, I've found some strains don't like it before then. I tend to tuck em under until that point

Yeah mate I've found some strains seem to put a lot of energy into regrowing those removed leaves if u do it too early. Don't get me wrong i will remove leaves early if they are covering a lot of sites but i try and hold back. But week 5 I've been known to really strip em down!

I'll try and find the video.
There's a guy who strips every leaf from his plant at day 14 and it's fully regenned leaves by 17.
Krunchbubble over on ic turned me towards it.
Texaskid defoliates from day 1 and slows down at 3 weeks but doesn't stop.
Capulator does a little everyday so not to stress the plant.

Tons of different ways is all I'm getting at.

Yea,that's what I like to hear!keep ur eyes open for anything special,I'll be popping more f2,s soon for the f3 gen,when do u flip them?I try to wait 8 weeks at least from seed,poli can be flipped sooner though if needed,she can stretch a bit (2/3 xs at least)but she easy to keep under control,she's easy overall to grow,medium feeder,fast veg,takes a a few weeks then takes off in flower,76

Interesting, i think the main point is the plant really doesn't need those big fan leaves in an indoor environment with constant access to food, well thats as far as i can tell anyway. Would like to see all these different defoliation methods, I'm a big believer in it, especially as i like growing trees.
