I agree with Flower Child here. I'm not defoliating this grow. This is a highly debated subject. Kind of a personal preference in the end.There are some folks who defoliate during flower, but I prefer not to because the plant will use those leaves for energy as she runs out of nitrogen towards the end. My last grow yellowed and used up almost all their leaves by the time they were harvested. I was glad I left them to do their job.
