New Grower TxRebel 1st grow Gelato from Fastbuds

I start my defol between day 25 - 30. I try to take a strategic method to defol. First lower and interior leaves to open the plant up to airflow to reduce humidity. Don't cut anything with bud site. I then start removing any leaves that are blocking light to bud sites. I leave fan leaves that are not blocking light to anything. The plants will start to "eat" themselves towards the end, translocating sugars from the leaves into the buds. These have about three weeks left and you can see some yellowing going on, some of which is from not enough HH going in. Oh, I have gotten high and defoliated and done too much, so be careful. This is after several defoliating sessions.

What he said... attend to the girls, then smoke.

Hey, @TxRebel you asked what part of the bible to concentrate on...read the section on each bottle. Once I understood (I use 'understood' very loosely) what each bottle does, what the reason is behind it and how they work together it made all the difference.

Thanks! Can def tell diff just overnight from using my clips & some pipe cleaners to pull down some of the smaller branches that were growing into a self tuck position and can see more growth in them between yesterday and now since it got more light to them. The 13th is 30 days for me so figured would need to start soon. I will take pictures in a bit in case I am needing advice on what to cut now. Ready for them to take off stretching so I know lil easier what needs to come off and what can stay! Thanks for the advice. @Arthur are their any other Nectar nutes I need to go with the 7 I am using (no Bk but def need Olympus to raise it) or just stick with these since newbie? And ty

You'll be suprised at how resilient cannabis is. When I pulled the last group from the tent, I mashed down the GWK, looked horrible, all bent down and twisted.... looks great now, fairly level canopy, spread out where the others used to be.

@Arthur or @CaptJonLuc now that can see little better and got the very bottom leaves off are their anymore I should pull? Just seems like the small branches & leaves growing into the big fans above them prob needs something pulled but not sure if yes some more needs to come off? And if yes should it be the small leaves n their lil branches or the upper fan leaves blocking the new smaller stuff?!?
Thanks again

From images I have seen doesn’t seem like the early fan leaves from node 2 that just grow straight out sideways won’t become bud site and it’s the lower (below the fans) where multiple leaves growing from same branch that will get bigger as it gets light and grows upwards that will make buds!
Is that right? If so let me know if I should pull these fans in question?!? Thx
