That's cuz you grow such crazy beasts that are always thriving and have a will to grow and grow and grow. As long as you have those circumstances, I agree 100%.Jay I've been defoliating for years. I've never seen plucking a leaf stress a plant.
Looking great in there :thumbs:

I don't know about defoliating. The thought of it makes me nervous simply because of potential stunting...
She's looking great jayar. If you prune just keep it to the minimum.

But if you got a plant that seems a little shaky... Maybe just remove the popcorn buds and the lowest foliage, or depending on what kind of structure the plant has, maybe even the smallest branches. But not the "big fan leaves", as J mentioned.
Nood's loving $0.02 worth, just to have at least one Nay vote. LOL
:Sharing One:
I'm in. Just trimmed my shrubs that never stretched. Not sur what happened. I'm aving the dilemma as well. Though I'll take out a branch or 5 I always try to leave my fan leaves. Unless the are just an asshole. I'll even try twisty tieing it to the trunk just to keep it. Lol
Well since you are growing photos jay, even if the plant did stress for say a day or so, not really much of a set back for a photo. Since you are weighing your options, would it be better in the long run to pluck the few leafs, and have bigger branches and buds at the end, which is ultimately the reason we grow.
Now with autos, I try not to pluck as much. I admit there were some weaker autos I've grown that I plucked and really hurt the yield. Where the going to grow much anyways? Probably not. But I guess thats a risk you have to be willing to take. And then there was autos like the BHD in my avatar that didnt mind. So with that being said I think all of our opinions have really proved that each grower and plants experience is going to be totally different than each other, and that we must all be the grower WE are, and not each other. However, it is each of us that helps to mold ourselves, no? Lol just smoked a couple bowls, feelin' real creative.
Whats the verdict judge jay?

Me too just snipped a few of the biggest fan leaves and now we're working with some good light penetration! See i didnt take any branches tho because i like to smoke the popcorn buds while the rest cure up lol
I have sided with the Yays, the three most powerfuk leaves have been chopped at the head! Now we have plenty of light reaching the insides. We'll see how she takes it!
Btw bro, this is a Cheese Candy Auto, not photo. I was gonna start a skywalker kush and c99 photo but decided to go for this one so i could join the bamslam contest. The photos are next in a couple of months!
