Looking for opinions

[Rtown]

manifolds are new to me I usually opt for SOG. Peoples opinions on defoliating the canopy more to remove shade from lower branches considering the bottom 1/4 are nearly stripped bare.

As a brutal butcher I say it is good. Leave it. Just keep the fans going is all.

I’m doing my first manifold too. Different guides/people do it different ways.

I left them on until this morning I finally decided to take off the fan leaves.

Yours don’t look like normal manifolds though, it’s super branchy.

Saying fans that get large? Thanks for the info wasn’t too sure on how thick the canopy is getting. As for my manifold I topped the 3rd node, topped the next two at the second and then a final time for 8 mains. I allowed branches to catch up to the canopy by keeping the mains tied down so it’s even. Trying to aim for the least popcorns
