I have done it in Aero like superstoner, I do it in DWC now as well. I mean they defoliate in scrog but if you do it in normal growing its frowned upon? That right there tells me something is wrong with the statement you can not or should not defoilate. I mean all you can do is try it and see like the rest of us that do it.
That was my logic too, the plant is not searching for nutes like the fan leaves help regulate when nutrients are not available, it make sense when they are there for uptake the plant can absorb them without the need of some of the fan leaves.
Thanks for the quick response man.
I originally asked about defoliating, you guys have posted up a lot of great feedback on it, thanks... I trimmed down a few of my plants quite a bit towards the end of veg, they exploded with new growth like 2 or 3 days later - much more than the ones I did a little trimming down on, and way more than the ones I left alone. Obviously I will continue, haha.

Got kind of a strange question! How can I get my roots to grow bigger without the plant it self getting bigger! I had a tub of extra young plants that just had water for like two weeks and the roots are awesome but the plants look like they are ready to die! Wonder if you just added enough nute to keep the plants looking good, and if the roots would keep growing at a good rate?

old dude, plants grow roots with extra P and they grow shoots with calmag. Check out this post, this guy has it down to a science. Even though its written for uc, it will still work for all mediums.

Guys lets talk ventilation.
So I sealed the room completely...i just have a split ac in there..
I am getting lot of people telling me I have to recirculate air...plants will die breathing their own air over and over..
Ss said he had his f room straight up sealed...
I am guessing it's cool cause ur generating co2

plants need:
water
nutes(food)
light
co2
they do not need fresh air, they turn bad air to good air. i ran my sealed, and yes very sealed, room for over 2yrs before adding my co2 generator and i had great yields. just being in the room working for 30-45 mins will bring levels to 2000ppm. prove the friends wrong.

i never worried about it and didnt even have a true idea of what it was the first two years until i got my monitor/controller. just try it, and then when you are comfy look at a minigen generator.
Maybe carefully check all your gear again, see if there's any sticky residue left from any price tags or labels on your pump and pvc pipe... I remember another guy having this issue on the old forum.
I was looking back for whoever posted up about having gnats, but couldn't find it, here's an awesome solution... put some apple cider vinegar (gotta be the good stuff "with mother" like Bragg) in a cup and cover it with a piece of saran wrap. Poke a small hole in the wrap with a toothpick or fork, and set it down in your space. Gnats will go in and won't be able to figure out how to get back out, and eventually end up in the bottom of the cup.
