Day 18 since 12/12. How's it looking? Should I give the girls a trim? Running coco, ec 1.8, ph 5.9-6.0 fed 3 times daily, runoff ec 1.8-2.0. Simulated sunrise and sunset. Averages around 10cm above second screen, 20cm between first and second. A couple seem far less developed than the others. Temps are 25-30C day time and 18-20C night time. Humidity is around 55-65%

I'd lollipop everything under canopy that's not getn light. Then lightly defoliate only fans thats covering bud sites. Don't do to much at once. A few leaves a day or so.

Everything under the bottom screen has been lollipopped. Over how many days would you do it? I've just heard doing it all at once gives it less stress in the long run. As opposed to stressing it out every day for a week sort of thing but may be wrong, there seems to be a lot of different ways people do it hahahah

A few leaves a day is no stress at all. It's normal in nature. Doing it all or to much at once can stress it out. Stress can cause other issues like delaying growth. Making it need a recovery period can add weeks to your grow.

Okay thanks very much. How much would you take a day? A handful of leaves from each?

No set amount just as needed. Whatevers covering other bud sites. Each plant will be different. Hard to tell with your canopy how many leaves each plant has. I prefer to leave as many leaves alone as possible. U got alot going on in that lil space. Usually I would leave em alone and spread em out but u can't so use your trelis to give each bud its own space and even out the level. Canopy should only be 12-18". Anything over that will be a waste with larf. Don't worry about bottom buds that's y u lollipop.

I have a heap of leaf covering lowers but that would require a decent defol to get to everything. Everything below bottom screen is stripped and only about 35cm from bottom screen to top of canopy which is roughly 14inches. How would I take a better photo for you to get an idea of the extent of the situation? As in what camera angle sort of thing
