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.
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 net
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.
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?
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.
Perfect example of what not to do. And why you shouldnt
Not bad but its looking pretty larf.
Thanks bud
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 lol
