Just "leave" them lolzzz... anyways puns aside. I defoliated right around day 25 and remove i would say about 50% of all big fan leaves just to open the canopy. Its now been 4 days since then and it looked like I didnt even do anything.Hey growers I’m currently up to day 28 in flower and my 4x4 is packed. When I open the door the plants lay out. And the plants are laying all the walls pretty much. The 4x plants are growing equally. Any tips on what I should do? Prune some branches? Defoliate? Just leave them?

I only mention defoliating like I did because I had yet to defoliate the plant really and I needed to add another layer to my scrog so it would be easier to get a nice canopy for the second layer of netThat far into flower I wouldn’t touch them. Looks beautiful. For future grow I would prune bottom foliage before flip to 12/12. Helps with air flow to prevent mold.
Next time throw up a trellis & if you haven't done a lower defoliation, I would do that & ANYTIME you remove leaves like this other guy was saying to do, always only remove a leaf for a reason, i.e. it's blocking a bud site, it's stopping light from reaching thru the canopy to other important areas etc. They are looking good & personally I would just keep an eye one the weight & tie branches up if necessary because they will get to heavy & snap.Hey growers I’m currently up to day 28 in flower and my 4x4 is packed.

I would do all my defoliation during veg. Minimum to none in flower. Maybe a leaf here and there blocking growing buds. But all major work should be done before you flip. And probably give the plant a week to recover from last defoliation before you flip to flower.just browsing this forum becuase i have similar issue and you seem to know your stuff, when would you idealy defoliate leaves and lolipop. in veg? specific time in flower? both?

Perfect example of what not to do. And why you shouldntThis round I flipped them the day I defoliated, they were too tall so I couldn't let them stretch. I just jammed the table with as many that would fit, seems to be working out.

Thanks budNot bad but its looking pretty larf.
I’m trying to get the best airflow I can. I’ve got the tower fan at the rear and I’ve got 2x 100mm fans sitting on the dtw mesh pointing up to get extra airflow through the canopy. And I’ve got a clip on oscillating fan that sits on the lights pointing down but I noticed today it no longer oscillates I just move it to take clear pics. I don’t think I can get much more airflow in there lolJust make sure theirs good airflow ! U star getting packed in that tight and humidity produces bud rot pretty fast . Plants look very nice buddy !
