I guess since we're on the subject of defoliating I might as well keep posting here...Second round of the defoliating {10 days flowering} and they are eating it up.
I understand you're just trying to help me Doc, but we're just going to have to agree to disagree, because nothing I going to read is going to change what I've learned and experienced in the my personal situation.
I agree, I usually don't touch them after 3 weeks of flowering except for big fan leaves blocking bud sites...Here's a solo shot of the same plant two weeks later, most likely if I didn't say I defoliated people probably wouldn't even know.
If done correctly it does increase harvest weight and you'll have far less loss to larf in my experience...I defoliated a week before flowering I do all my ladies like this
And here they are today two weeks later and one week into floweringThen about 2.5 weeks into flowering I do a little bit...
