Look at this du-face....I did not top it....it was naturally topped....low leaves as well.
She is starting to bud.....Malawi and Northern lights....ought to be a good one.

Leaves look funky on the ones on the front of the picture.
A deficiency most likely.

Yep, that's a good plan. I am going to take a couple that are resting on the potting soil and turning yellow. I don't want to encourage mold.

I just finished with my 2 plants and I was rewarded with 13 ounces of smoke.
I defoliate often,seriously I can't look at my plants without wanting to take at least 1 leaf off. So I trim regularly and then on top of this i do 3 major defoliations. If I'm topping or mainlining them I wait until I have my final form before the 1st one if you're not topping, then I would say around 4 weeks for your 1st defoliation.
The 2nd around the 3rd week of flower and then a final major defoliation at 6 weeks of flower. ( Lollipopping is not defoliation)
These are large fan leaves that we are talking about not small leaves or sugar leaves those should always stay on your plant.
Happy growing
