From this to that. Again, I don't claim to know anything. I'm just acquiring a lot of info and feel I have to apply some of it.

I'm going to strip the lower half down to nothing tonight. I'm having fun regardless.

The plant in the top pic is a beauty. Did it branch like that by itself? Looks to me like it's gonna be nice.

Defoliating seems to be a topic that gets people riled up. My first plant I let it grow like it wanted, I wasn't happy with it. Trying something different this time.

Here are mine at day 21 (I read my calendar wrong a few days ago) of flowering. They branched like crazy in veg. I took a ton of tops and fan leaves off because I'm trying heavy defoliating this time. We'll see how it goes. I think they look great for 21 days.

These pics are at flowering day 32 of my heavy defoliating experiment. They have the right number of colas, and all the flowers are focused into the colas, no "popcorn" buds. I think they look awesome, and still have 26 days to go before harvest.

Like ss grower said it's all about light distribution. If you absolutely have to take fan leaves , do so only if thier blocking prime bud sites or other branch tops. Also make sure about the bottom 1/3 of your plant is cleaned of little leaves or stems that will never amount to nothing.

Defoliation for me is usually a health thing. If you have big fans laying on top of other leaves I always take the big fans that are tangled up out. Helps prevent mold and pests. It's mainly a dance of how much can I keep whilst still being disease free

You defoliate for 2 reasons, to improve airflow and get flower into light, this pic is toofless alien and you can see how much i defoliated during the life of plant.

I find removing fan leaves make smaller and less resinous flowers.

Depends on the strain, but this strain from seed could probably do 1/sqft max without defoliation. Clones could be packed in a little tighter.

Works for me. Seed to harvest is usually around 90 days.
