3rd week of flower started today, the stretch seems to have slowed down and there's a butt load of new leaves hiding a butt load of new buds. Do the buds need those fan leaves at the moment? Do they still absorb light and co2 and distribute them to the buds or do the leaves just waste them on themselves like some selfish toddler at the mall?...sorry I digress...just paid a visit to the big guy for my littles, still under "the spell" of Christmas spirit....back to my scrog, should I hack away already or wait longer? I also need to spray again for thrips and would rather have less foliage to deal with...

I pluck every day... a leaf here, a leaf there, some days 5 some days 1. This is after they get bigger of course.
Like Greenie sais, get them used to the blade.
If you haven't defoliated much, you may need to be conservative. Be strategic. Tuck em or pluck em. Look at them from the lights perspective and expose all budsites to light.

Thanks for all the scrog(support?😬) people! It was indeed quite the task and yes my back was glad when it was over! My main concern was whether I was going to remove too much and starve the buds since there won't be much leaf growth from now on. But looks like everything gonna be alright!x1 LED Cirrus T5 500w, x3 Sun System LEC315, x1 Nanolux LEC315, Saturn 5 controller, x4 6" can vents, 8800 btu A/C, 70 pint dehumidifier
