I was wondering if a third defoliation was necessary!? I didn’t get under this one like I wanted to but I defol week one and then week three and here I sit w nice buds and lot of them are growing no problem but I feel would benefit from having light on them is this the wrong idea I’m speaking my second canopy is shaded I’d say enough to ask questions but not enough I feel it would fuck up grow
Leaves are big and protruding I thinking about taking those I suppose

I defol twice as well, they honestly look like they are doing good. every grow has a different preference. I've seen some say it stunts growth, but i did it on my first grow and didn't see much a problem {but that was my first grow and I haven't ran those strains again. therefore i have nothing to compare too. To me, they look like they are getting enough light. bongsmilie
 
My "opinion" is, if you want small buds, defoliate. Fan leaves provide energy for plants to grow big.
I disagree I believe the plants have their own way of knowing what ur doing in a sense and as long as u don’t over do it u will be fine that is not to say hack it up I agree defol in excess will kill weight but I also believers there are cultivars that require this as there are those that require. Twice and so on but idk
 
i pluck a few here and there almost daily i am in week 5 of flower not the real big ones just the sad looking ones
 
I always trim heavy light blocking offenders. The plants react well and other leaves get big. They are smart. I just let them tell me what to do.
 
I just turned over to week 7 today that is why I posted this I just decided to do the two defols and pluck cut those over sites as they ultimatum make micro climates etc and throw things off I know they say not to take them but u can tell and get a feel for a leaf being in the way
