Those plants weren't even close to "having" to remove leaves. Focus on getting them healthy instead of pulling off leaves.Have always defoliated it's more a case of having to than wanting too.
Plants don't seem to have any problems with it.
They will need it again pretty soon.
You can see on this first plant it's so frikkin tight it needed it.
The second plant not so much so. But the side arms have jumped overnite with the extra light.
Only using a 150 watt Quantum board
Light is 24 inches and there still not stretchingView attachment 4863778View attachment 4863773View attachment 4863778
Thanks for the reminder unfortunately having bipolar can forget what I've done 30 seconds after doing it.Those plants weren't even close to "having" to remove leaves. Focus on getting them healthy instead of pulling off leaves.
It's not that everyone doesn't like defoliation, it's more the fact that your plants don't require it. You are pulling off leaves just to pull off leaves.Gently simmering the roots @26c is not a good idea heaters are now off and a better sheen to the leaves today.
Back in a week or so for a whole load more of what you lot don't like DEFOLIATION.
That's your opinion. No problem.Mutilating a young plant like that is very counter productive. This has no place in the advanced section TBH.
