Just gave the small pheno a little defoliation I only took about 10-15 leaves off I don't believe that stripping a plant way down has any benefits at all just seems a bit stupid to me tbh the plant obviously needs them for energy I just expose all flower sites and leave it at that. I apologise if I hurt anyomes feeling about stripping the plant but common sense tells me it ain't very sensible

The big guy got his haircut today perked up within an hour of defoliation and feeding. I will pluck off a few leaves here and there from both plants over the next couple of weeks. I'm going to flip to flower around 8 weeks.

for what your doing here with plants that have space to stretch out i agree a heavy leaf strip is unnecessary much better to train out the branches and just take whats needed
but if your are running alot of plants like 6-9 in a 4x4 topped and netted or staked you will definitely benefit from heavy defoliation
so it just depends on what you want to do theres no wrong way to do it

Yeah I totally agree man apologies what I actually meant is that it seems completely pointless with a couple of plants similar to my own setup as I have seen so many diaries where people have spent 4 months growing a plant or two just to get an oz or less because they butchered the plant for no reason.

A large amount of plants with a lot of leaves i assume can cause humidity issues and leave plants more prone to disease from all the leaves sitting on eachother sure makes a lot of sense to heavily defoliate in that situation sorry for the confusion my bad.

Gave both plants 4 litres of feed today they are really starting to drink now. Both looking very good just upped the grow nutes to 1.5ml per litre for large pheno still at 1ml per litre for small pheno. Adding a little bio heaven and calmag to feed also.

For sure man nearly ready was going to wait for 8 weeks to flip but think they'd be too big by then might flip after 7 instead will see how much they grow in the next week.

Was planning on 8 wks veg but both ladies are getting quite big for my space. I upped the watering from 3l to 4l and the smaller pheno is not drinking as quickly and droopy for way longer than other pheno after lights on and is showing early signs of mag def light stripes between veins I think its just because she wasn't ready for the extra water she got.
