Just remember that if it is going to show issues they usually show lower if you removed them all you will be affecting the tops right away last few weeks it will use up most of the nutrients in fans .Thanks @Kingjoe83,
It’s just on the top fan leaves for now but there aren’t really any fan leaves left bellow after the defoliation to show anything. I did a heavy defoliation last week and there was nothing like this anywhere.
I’ll grab some better shots tonight and dig a bit deeper.
I like to defoil bit not crazy . Think of it like this your plant those fans are what makes everything happen. Stores nutes , supplies sugars , powers plant essentially .
You said only few days til chop?
