So one of my outdoor plants reveg’d on me last June about mid month. It started snapping out of it about a week to ten days ago and is now going into flowering. There is a lot of heavy growth around the main stems and is where most bud sites are starting. There is a lot of fan leaves covering them and I can’t decide to defoliate or just let it rip on it’s own. I think those main stems are going to turn in to big colas but think those surrounding fan leaves might encourage bud rot. Here is a pic. Defoliate or no?
