Fan leaves during flowering?

[Hempire828]

I guess what I’m trying to ask is, at what stage during flowering will a plant stop making its fan leaves??

Do they regrow if defoliated at some point in time?

Well, I experimented with a heavy defoliation at day 42. Stupid as fuck idea. Nothing barely grew back

I would say somewhere in week 4 is the latest for regrowth. After that, just take what blocking budsites

Ok I’m gonna hold off.. I’ve defoliated once earlier I’m thinking I have around 2weeks + + left but I still have fan leaves in places that seem to be getting bigger, could be or maybe replacing them. Idk I might be tripping... it’s maimly at the bottom

They do grow a little more. But not enough for a small leaf to grow to a reasonable size. If it's dark towards the bottom I'd maybe take the biggest leaves or tuck them somewhere

So you stripped at day 21 and 42 of 12/12? Or is the third pic a result of the first defoliation at day 21?

 

[Pa-Nature]

Yup 1 defol is all I do 21 day I just showed ya how much they bounce back with sec pic the no effects at 42 IMHO .

And NOW .
Just another 20 days

If you hadnt of strippwd i think you would have got a lot more - first picture is packed then it never seems to fill out as much.

Im pretty sure all leaves are the same and given time after a strip any small leaves will grow bigger.

Rarely does prunning biomass increase yeild weight, some prunning can be beneficial but not too much like all fan leaves

Yea I always defoliate heavy at day 21. Tried to see if I could do it again at day 42. Nope

At day 42 it looked like I didn't even defoliate a first time. If I could redo this round, I would just take the biggest leaves that block

I do it so the bottom bugs are of good size. Problem can be solved by pruning the lowers as well

What ever works .
My nugs are big and hard .
And not done yet .

I think we get to know what works best in our own grows, if you have to prune too much would not a shorter veg time help?
