Start of week five..thats about when I like to have most of defoliation done...I pull all fans for the most part over the course of week 3 to week 5 in flower
I probably still be pullin them off, makes trimmin easier either way
Thats pretty aggressive but it shouldn't hurt...on an 8 site, I take about 2 five gallon buckets full at a whack
Here we are today, headin into the weekend update...stackin nice and eatin like a mofo, 200+ gallons a week right now...CS nutes all the way with a little cal-mag and light epsom salt foliar feed
