Thanks man yeah I don't think air flow is a issue I just want them to get fat
But I want big plants lolNice little plants !
Defoliation is an unproven technique like flushing, boiling your roots, putting a rusty nail through the stem, etc...
"Unproven" works both ways. There are plenty of growers on here who defoliate. My plants have lots of leaves afterwards. I get buds. They are frosty. Yields has gone up since I started growing. I've also let my plants go natural. Honestly I don't see a huge difference either way, but my plants have never developed bud rot when defoliated, and I have very little larf these days. So I don't know. I'm going to continue to do it. Grow however you wish.
Ok great I'll keep that in mind in regards to two leaves touching. I usually just take off anything with a long stem on it
Thank you for feedback
So you think I have taken off too many?
Haters gonna hate I'm just trying to learn here
So is it possible to remove too much foliage in your opinion? And what is your opinion on the pic I posted
The reason why I don't like leaves to touch is because during the dark period the plant respires and releases moisture. If leaves are touching that moisture can build up and give PM ideal breeding grounds.
Of course it is possible to remove to much. Your plants look good. Maybe just trim the tips of the leaves lower down where they are touching buds. But not the entire leaf. You should know tho. Defoliation will increase total time to harvest. So just be aware of that.
