Defoliating Autoflower - For or Against?

[Boatguy]

I personally defoliate under my led but not for the normal reason of doing it , I mainly do it if the fan leaves are covering bud sites that could be getting light but I only defoliate if I’ve tried moving leaves out the way and it still doesn’t make a gap for light to penetrate

I do the opposite, and thin out growth under the canopy. Mainly for better airflow, and to get rid of sucker branches.
Im not sold on the idea of removing leaves from the top so the larf gets more light. Do you find you get more product than when you dont remove leaves?

OP you are not even close to time to flush

Op?

but yeah I figure I’ve still got at least 3/4 weeks left.

More likely twice that time.

Oh really.

this specific strain is supposed to be finished within 10 weeks and I’m on week 10 now?
not very fast finishing (according to the Seedbank) then if that’s the case.
Or maybe I’ve had slow growth

One looks about 2 weeks into flower, the other one looks to be barely flowering. Breeders really like to stretch the truth...
They look nice and heathy though
