Second grow Opinions on defoliation

Ryboburton · Dec 8, 2020

Plants are clones Humboldt sour deisel. Doing great I think. But just curious on opinions to strip leaves or not. I’ve done it and I haven’t to my last grow and all produced. Any ideas. Second pic was the amount of leaves taken before flower

I don't think you need to do much at all at this point except remove any tiny branches and tiny buds at the bottom. It looks like light still has plenty of space for penetration. Nice job.

Thanks. They are under two 315 sun system lecs.

You should do strip one side and not the other. Why are so many people willing to butcher the entire crop but are afraid to do a side by side comparison?

Well I’m gonna take em out today and at least clean them up. Way too much down low but going to be gentle. Just got watered yesterday. Otherwise I think they’re doing great. Any recommendations are appreciated

Nice bro this was my last grow

Well I cleared out the canopy and undergrowth. Nothing too crazy but two whole sacks full of leaves. I won’t touch them again now and nothing but feed and flush till I hang them. Day 22 since flip. Took 12 weeks last time and the smoke is fantastic These plants are twice the size. It’ll be interesting
