Don't ya love that leaf to Calyx ratio I got harvest coming next week end and for once Im not worried about trimming I doubt I even have to use my Bowl trimmer. I had some harvest that I was tempted to use the weed eater lol Looks like you will have little trim work also
I don’t mind losing 90% of the leaves by harvest, less work, as long as it’s time correctly and doesn’t hurt my vegetative flower growth. The way this current grow is going I’ll still have quite a few leaves left but it won’t be much of an issue.. mainly some of the larger leaves, but if the buds continue swelling it won’t be very much at all.
I prune my plants as they grow starting around the first transplant so come flower I only have a couple things to handle at harvest. I don’t lollipop or defol since it’s not really needed if you prune as you go and there’s no stress on the plants
At the very most, I’ll cut the tips of lower branches but leave the leaves.. those have resources in them the plant has worked on, they’re like little batteries so I let the plant choose what to do with them. When we grow organically, we’re not delivering nutrients to the plant so anything it takes out of the pot we want it to use or put back into the pot.
