Growing on a dime
Don’t defoliate, If you are going to defoliate do it by week three of flower. The whole “take the fan leaves out because the buds need the light” is controversial statement. Leaves are what make foods for those buds, leaves are the solar panel for the plant they are what absorb the light you are giving the plants
I think defoiling if done right, does more good than harm.. Those leaves do what u said above for veggn plants but after stretch theyre role isnt needed imo. I like more than the tops to reach their full size. I plucked 10-20 leaves daily when in flower..
Somtimes u gotta not be a follower and do things that isnt the norm to get results ur lookn for..
Myself the only time it delayed things was cause they was to young to handle the stress.
I think if done smartly it does more good than harm..
Again if u dont do it thats fine but to say it only does harm isnt what ive seen from the last 22yrs ive grown.
I respectfully disagree. Can it do harm ? Yes.
Can it help a flowering plant? Yes.
Just my opinions not saying im that know it all grower that's allways right or knows everything.. Cause im not.. I just am going from my own experiences is all. Thx
