I can't wait to flip to flower... I'm struggling...it's..so...hard...but I should wait another week or so. When do I start defoliating to get ready for flower? After I switch or before? I've been doing a little here and there every day to get more light through to everything, but nothing major.

I had everything tied down and now her stems are pretty much stuck so I let everything loose yesterday hoping she'll get a little taller and fill the space out more. @Morth I took her hair ties out! Lol...

Nice set up, mine is scattered all over. Vegging in my room, flowering in my office...too much crap in the garage or I would use the whole thing..but it was 22 degrees here this morning do I don't think that would have worked either way.

I was thinking I'm going to flip on Friday( my schedule has everything on Friday for these two plants, makes it easier). I have enough plants that I'll be harvesting every three weeks (if nothing goes wrong)but I smoke a lot..maybe an ounce a week, I hope 2 plants is enough to last 3 weeks. Now the problem is, I recently started dabbing..oO..love it...but now I have to learn to make bho...great..lol...BOOM!,!

Not even sure you need to defoliate. Training like lolypoping are done so the top 1' of the canopy gets light and everything below 1' doesn't waste energy, if all you have is 1' of canape when you switch to flower no reason to touch it. Maybe remove a few fan leaves that are blocking light but nothing drastic unless you see an area that you don't think will be able to get light.

Why not get rid of bottom stems now, before flower? Seems like it would reduce the stress that will occur when she is defoliated some(if needed)after the stretch.

Edit
Oooooh, I think maybe you were suggesting to monstercrop. If so...my bad.
