she’s in day 7 of flowering. I removed all the bud sites except the tops and did a heavy defoliation 2 days before the flip. Everything seems to be doing well and I was planning on doing this practice again at day 21. However, there are some branches that are not catching up and I’m wondering if I should chop them now or should I just leave them to mitigate any unnecessary stress? Any other tips are appreciated. Also I will not use a Scrog net due to having to remove the plant from tent to clean/change res.
