In Dog Beers I've Only Had One
Ok... Is this correct understood:
For each branch, leave the fan closest to the growth tip and remove all fans below.
No, only remove the fan directly above the area you want to get full light exposure.
Look at the post with the pic after defol. That post will tell you which plant is the same plant in the previous picture.
Then you will have a before and after pic showing exactly what I removed, and in the after pic you will see why.
All the "new to the light" growth in the second pic (the after pic) turned into full length main colas.
I have 7 full mains on that plant now, plus several 3/4 length mains as I did this same procedure several times.
