I've got a female plant here - Russian Rocket fuel. About 4 feet tall and been in flower stage for close 3 or 4 weeks. Just last week I trimmed off the vast majority of leaf to expose what the many, many little buds all over the plant. I fertilize regularly with a 'blossom booster fertilizer - one high in Phosphorus. Today, 4 days later almost all the leaf is back with little appreciable growth in buds. It gets about 7 - 8 hours of direct sunlight a day. Why is it still producing leaf and not showing bud growth. I've got about 30 days or so of grow time left.

Any help is appreciated... Ziffy

I didn't defoliate it, I thinned out the older larger leaves so light could reach the inside buds. In fact I read about that technique on this forum. And yes, older leaves will die off in nature while the plant continues to grow.
