Defoliation performed, @Sensi Jay and @ClockworkOrange.

Should I take more, like the plants shown here?

Good job

I'd say no, you've got decent light penetration now, so any further will hinder the girls growth IMO.

I like what you done, looks like the light can penetrate the whole depth and still enough leaves. Perfect!

As for defoliation, sometimes the plants need it, sometimes they dont. In some cases we noticed that certain plants can develop more foliage if the feeding will be altered.
General rule is to find the proper timing for defoliation treatments, if you do it in the wrong moment, the plants will not be able to recover properly and loose precious time that would be spent on flower development.

Our experiments have shown positive results when removing leaves and initial popcorn budsites around 7th day of flowering.
Another possible moment for defoliation would be around week 3 of flowering (day 18-23), before the buds start to swell and produce bigger amounts of resin.
Removing leaves later or causes the plant to stress too much, they do not have enough time and proper feeding to grow the leaves back what results in lowered yields.

For example:
- Remove only what you are 100% you need to remove. Once its off, you cant put it back.
- Remove fan leaves from dense areas in the middle of the canopy to avoid mold development and better aeration.
- If they cant be bend/tucked in - Remove fan leaves covering other budsites
-* optional - remove smallest initial flowers from the bottom 20%-30% of the plant within first 3 weeks of flowering. They will not develop into big buds anyway and this energy can be redirected somewhere else.



In general your plant looks happy after the defoliation. The penetration is significantly improved so it should help it to develop some chunky buds all over the canopy...

Some FastBuds Stardawg pics. Those buds are amazing! Never seen flowers like it!
I have to get my hands on Chemdawg! Which company has the best, most stable version?

Thursday I will take a sample to dry and test smoke.

FastBuds Stardawg

Stardawg is in the capillary box, hidden by the monstrous LSD auto Zenseeds Hoffmann. Thus the unsharp pics.

If potency follows beauty in this case, we have another strain to be repeated.

Enjoying the good weather.

@Rebel, does the pics in messages [HASHTAG]#1171[/HASHTAG] & [HASHTAG]#1200[/HASHTAG] qualify for a Hash, Oils and Edibles badge?
