If you defoliate at the right time you can take all you want, to a degree. Usually before and after the early flower stretch.
One of the best most accurate explanations of defoliation I have ever heard. The 1 key thing you missed though is tools should be sterilized before cutting your plants especially when doing multiple plants.
i think a key to defoliation in flower phase is to make sure that you don't just remove the leaf and not the leaf stem. the leaf stem can rot and now you have a good source of decay attached to the branch which can ruin stuff in late fall or when drying.
What about defoliation of all or mostly all leaves a day or gwo before harvesting. My bro science says it could work similar to keeping it dark for 36-48 hours prior to harvest or could even work in conjunction as a stressor to impules tricome resin and terpen content? What do you think?
Thanx man for all the info, pressing like for all vids form you I see 🙂
👍
True – just true … can’t say if it’s proved , cause i don’t give a fck insta shit else… but that dude also covers how I can find my sleep by listening- thank you 🙏
I’m huge on LST and defoliation. I cut all fan leaves as soon as they get big. I also remove any nodes pointing down. Lastly at flower time you can see completely through my plant to get light and air to as many sites as possible. Never had a bad experience.
Sup bro, had a question unrelated to today’s topic but I’ll ask anyway, because there is more knowledge being thrown around here someone will know. If your cannibas cigarette ( medicine of course), doesn’t have residue clogging up the tip as you consume, does it mean it was low quality?? Thought s please
Definitely true i learned to ease up on defoliating now i use to go overboard with it
Great video man love your energy and motivation to help people as well as respecting other people’s styles of growing
this is my opinion on defoliation I agree with basically everything you say however I think it is incredibly important to give a good defoliation early flower yes fan leaves are solar panels and provide the plant with energy to grow but having too much can give you problems also the leaves on the plant are not the only way the plant gets energy.
as long as you have a decent amount of fan leaves on each branch what’s the point of having more.
So how do you know how much to how little to cut? Well first let me say it’s key to do everything at once for the least amount of stress I mean think about it if your stretching your defoliation/training you are preforming that stress during the time the plant is recovering which is going to stretch the recovery time. Anyway this is what I do I cut enough so when I look down the center like right above where you lollipop, you should be able to just barley see through the plant seeing each top. If your in week 3 and you look down the center of your plant and see more leaf then bud you definitely have too much leaves
without direct light on every bud (not just the top buds but the lower ones too) your bottoms will not be able to fatten up and get ripe like the tops
I seriously highly suggest you guys at least just give it a try on one of your plants I used to be scared to defoliate when I started growing but I then decided to try it on a grow and it was insane the difference my bottom buds would be almost the size as my tops. I was always scared about the recovery time but if you have a healthy plant and you time it correctly you can do a heavy defoliation and the plant will barely react, my indoor right now showed no stress after I did a big defoliation job and my plants didn’t slow down at all
Which is why I don’t recommend cutting smaller amounts more frequently doing that will just increase your chances of the plant getting stressed and slowing its growth rate my recommendation is lollipop a week before flipping your lights and defoliate week 2 or week 3 of flower
This is just my opinion I hope you guys give it a try but I still respect how ever you guys like to do things Good luck and happy growing…oh also if you guys wanna see my plants so you can feel more comfortable taking my advice into your grow check out my Instagram

Amen brother!!!! ITs like an orchestra just cause you dont like one instrument you dont cut them out. You want all the options you can have. Every environment is different so different hints and techniques are needed. I was told to never defoliate and by the same person that you have to. LOL bbut he said never cut a leaf unless there is a reason for it. That is how you do it! you kinda touched on that! strategically!
Take leaves that block bud sites as needed.
I do it when it need it but most of the time no in less your plants need it great video Great concert Great tips
Like always very hood info. Keep up the good work. Hope you all had a Great Thanksgiving.
We can all have our own opinions but not our own facts !
Nice video bro let's get it Michigan here
As a new grower I definitely over did it on one of mine.
Great analogy to music with growing! Basic principles but the rest is up to you. That’s the joy of it. Great video as usual bro keep on keepin on 🤘🏻🔥
fun topic, seen ppl turn blue in the face arguing about this lol. stay lifted buddy
Love the videos brotha keep it up 🤘
Pheno hunting tips – i'm trying to find a specfic trait in a strain at the moment. Have you done it and how did (or would) you go about it? That would be a cool video
I'm lucky that my favorite strain has sparse foliage, minimal defoliation needed and trimming is a breeze, i try to only take off leaves that point inwards – if that makes sense? Different strains react differently to defoliation from my experience, some get a bit stunted from it and some explode with growth. I heard someone in the community say leaves are like solar panels so I lean towards minimal defoliation with leafy strains 👍
Another good video! You do some good work and thanks for the tips.
Just chopped the crap out of a pair of overgrown durban ladies. Gotta do what ya gotta do!
To each its own
2 blunts 2 stoned
Plants are unique like humans. I assume that means the reaction is different to certain techniques performed on its body. Lol.
Wow 666. Had to like it lol. To make 667. Na na naaaaa
Great info 👍 Cheers ✌🌱✌
I like to defoliate a few times a week. Nothing crazy just a few leaves here and there. It's also a bonus to know the strain you are growing that way you can take care of problem areas because they get to over foliated. Just my 2 cents. Cheers keep on growing people!!
I remove the bottom 1/3rd of every branch on a weekly basis during veg then as soon as the first signs of flower start I stop and only leaf tuck. Then 3-4 days before harvest I remove 100% of the fan leaves. I don't do it to improve yield or anything like that. I use the leaves I cut for cooking and I want to take anything that is still alive off to eat and anything that's dead I remove and add to the soil in the next grow. I do it 3-4 days before harvest so that the plant can seal up the cuts before drying so they're not leaking water out of the cuts and drying too fast.
I start defoliating when the inner nodes start growing leaves n side branches to give them more light then theyll blow up but I do only certain spots I don't go nuts on it
if leaves are touching is gay 😛
Don't even agree with myself all the time.
My LSD was super leafy….but she seemed a little moody…so I just let her go the rest of the way. Appreciate your time!
I too defoliate on the 21day of flower then 41 days into flower
kk very nice , do same style and technic
Close friend of mine used to hard top his plants once then never touched them at all until harvest and he used to bag around 8oz on every plant every time with dolato, he’d turn up every Saturday fill reservoir up, pop his head inside then go back home, wish it was that easy for me 😂
Been growing since around 98'…always hydro. I defoliate at the end of week 2 sometimes after they've stretched a little. I've found this to be much more of a benefit then a hindrance.
