Hey guys, im 2 weeks into flower and they are starting to look really dense. I was wondering if its ok to pull some of the upper fan leaves to allow for more light to penetrate the bud sites or will this just cause extra stress to my plants??

As long as you dont pluck alot of your solar panel/food storers off, and provided you feed on a reg basis, wont effect her at all.

Do some research on Defoliating, then you can decide from your findings... You will see a lot of debate over which is better!! Peace!!

I like my leaves green and attached to the plant.

If you want to expose more bud sites to direct light, next time train the plant to grow in a way that encourages this (scrog, LST) or do a 2 stage harvest. By that I mean take all the more developed tops and foliage first and give everything else another week or 2 to develop further.
