I need to defoliate but im too scared!!

[bk78]

This might not matter but since these are braches I'm taking off is there a good time of day or night to do this, or does it not matter? I've only taken off fan leaves and it didn't matter when I did that.

Anytime is fine

Wait until you learn about super cropping.

This isn’t a circumcision
Whack them off
Bonus you will get a little larf to sample

I don't even use sheers half of the time anymore. I just rip shit

You are seriously overthinking this. It’s not rocket science. Google it for reassurance.

You are 100% right, I know, I know! My brain sucks!

have you cut it yet?
lets go, chop chop!
we want to see pictures
or
there will be repercussions

some folks need the extra incentive

I have the opposite issue- i get going and can’t stop- oh there is another one that needs to be removed- plants always come back strong- they tolerate it and they are much happier at the end of flowering. When I get lazy and don’t keep up- I end up with a quagmire of buds around the perimeter as the colas get heavy - and I have to thin it out anyway. Better to do it early so your buds can get more light and air circulation for the duration.

Welcome to a weed site where that aspect is a given

No I'm getting the sheers cleaned...they are gonna be so stressed! What if my nutes weren't good enough and they stop growing? I did have some light stress issues earlier!

I did it! I did it! I cut branches off my girls! The last pic I have is of my stocky short girl lefty. She doesn't have skinny branches a lot of her buds are on bigger branches, I'm not sure if I should take from the last pic or remove more fan leaves?

I always put the a few branches in water that I cut off in hopes of making clones but instead watch them die slowly from starvation.

Ok I didn't know I could clone in flower, my bad I was just gonna watch them die slowly but a cup of water it is!

Now that you have finally cut some off if you can tie some of the branches to open it up som and give more light into the lower stuff helps if not just use all that lower small stuff for edibles. These plants can take an ass whooping and bounce back like one of those kids blow up punching bags they just never stop coming back up lol. You will get the hang of it after a few crops and find what works best for you. Good job on making it this far now just get them to the finish line and enjoy the rewards.

You missed some

Once you have to trim all your plants you will defol next time lol. I had the same problem but when I chopped and started trimming I learned. It's all fun at first cause your trimming all the pretty buds then it gets old real fast and your like fuck this crap at the bottom. Hahaha
