Defol on the way into flower. Defol again at 2 weekish or so after bud set. Then it's strain dependent on if I even defol again or defol 3 more times.
meh, i just pick off a few every once and a while. especially bottom ones that are completely shaded out and blocking low lying air flow. and i take a few middle ones too, to get some light and air into the middle of the canopy. plants dont seem to notice me plucking incrementally, but l've seen guys whackin of 60% or more, and still pull ok. so its a learning experience as you go. what works for you and your enviro, strains, grow style etc....
like anything else with these girls, start slow, but most of all have fun!
ever hear of "Schwazzing" it's a sequence for defoliation of cannabis plants in the flower stage - defoilate in week 1 and then again in week 3 I mean they do a HEAVY defoliation - but the results are un-believeable. This method is also mentioned in the book called "Tree of Life" cost $300.00 there is a video of this will find and post it - I do see the principle of it- removing anything that's blocking light To increase terpene's and essential oils take off all fans leaves 4 days before harvest, the buds really swell and stack
