I’m growing Blue Gelato 41 and she is incredibly bushy. I haven’t defoliated before as I normally just let her grow out but I’m concerned she’s not getting enough light penetration.
Should I defoliate?
I’m on my 3rd day of flower and growing organically in soil using the Bio Canna line.
Thanks @kellydans, I’ve just managed to tuck the top leaves in. Would you recommend only removing a couple big leaves at the bottom and middle of the plant only?
Yes, I would take a few around the top for light penetration. An Open it up around the bottom a little to make it easier for watering And air flow Less than a week. You won’t even know you took them. It’ll feel back out.
Everyone has a different method, at the end of the day it’s all in preference and timing. A week or two before flip I’ll strip mine to the top of the canopy.
