Day 32 of flower - is it time for a large defoliation.

This is my second grow and I’ve been using more aggressive training techniques including defoliation. 3 plants in 5 gallon coco in a 2x4, it’s getting kind of crowded in there.

I’ve taken what seems like 100 leaves off of each plant, gradually since mid veg.

Humidity is also pushing to 60 now. Would you recommend taking like 4 fan leaves off each cola or is that too much?

I would to let more light in. Your setup looks great! How many plants is that?

Thanks! I have 3 plants in there, each in their own 5 gallon grow bag. Definitely helps speed up veg time to cover the canopy, but a bit unruly now!

Yeah better I think to maintain fan leaves throughout I think to avoid shock from taking too many at once, but I think if you take 4 a cola like you said every few days to a week until your happy would be ok, you may redirect some energy into bud development. Id look to remove foliation covering bud sites
