How much do you defoliate? If at all!

[LaVirtue]

I have 4 beautiful plants but they are kind of crammed in tight in my 3 x 3 tent.

I hate to take any leaves off but I see those inner buds aren’t getting a lot of light :(

For sure take away some of the big purple stem fan leaves.

Is it ok to take off more in the last week ?
These have about 3 weeks to go, I think.

What light are you using ?

 

[Dub_City405]

I take them off now not a whole lot. Some to make a difference.

I only strip fan leaves on day 21 and again day 35, but don't think it would hurt them

Great looking grow. I like to see healthy plants.

Pluck pluck pluck. Tops look amazing, your gunna have heavy popcorn in the shade tho.
don’t go nuts, but calculated Leaf removal would benefit your lower buds immensely.
what day of flowr are you on? 40?

That’s an amazing guess - Day 37! I’m still learning ....

You defoliate to get ur branches into the light, i grow autoflowers so i slowly defoliate before they flower here is an example.

I took a lot of leaves off today - hoping it’s not too much !
