Defoling is ONLY for experienced growers. you have no reason to take good leafs off the plant.
Any newbs watching: do not take healthy leaves off your plants. learn about that later....
This heavy defoliation will use less nutes and less water so easier to manage his res going forward. And from what I can understand the cell growth will have better medicinal benefits.

That kinda of "understanding" leads to nothing more than small, mediocre plants.
A new grower should, I dunno, let the plant grow a few times and see what one should look like, before you decide to go butcher them.
You might be surprised by the results.

For sure, learn the plant...there's a trend with these posts recently of extreme defoliation coincides with knowledge being around of making the plant produce better in terms of medicine and to save water and nutes. Something about cell being sent out to repair translate to you ingesting/inhaling them later.

Why would u defoliate so much when the plant needs it the most to grow big buds . The purpose of defoliating is to be better light exposure to the bottom bud sites.. this could be devastating u cut all the bud sites off lmao but the more u fucked up when learning something the more you’ll understand. Good luck mate hope she gets some bud at least.

Honestly I’ve seen a video of someone defoliating every leaf off their plant during the first week of flower, and it bounced back. But I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Make sure you feed VERY LIGHTLY during these next couple weeks, otherwise you WILL cook your plant. Good luck friend, hope you have a nice harvest!
