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.
