To be honest mate I would leave defoliation like that until the last week or two. Plants need leaves to photosynthesise energy to grow buds. Buds can’t use light to photosynthesise.

I suspect you may well have affected your ties I’m afraid to say. But that’s not saying you won’t get plenty of nice buds. But that will induce stress for sure at this stage.

Your yield sorry not your ties

Hey mate! I will continue to defoliate up to the end, i have a different idea about what might happen but we shall see, i hope that i did not fuck them up!

I am a big fan of big fan defoliation, also. I like to do a major trimming right after the first week of flower when the budsites have revealed themselves. I have done it without and really feel that I sacrifice yield by not defoliating. I know it is a controversial topic, but I am with Ganja farmer on this and will never not defoliate again, after my experience with the Glueberries last grow!

I like to say that I am a bud farmer, not a leaf grower!

Looking great, man. You will be rewarded, I believe.
