Hi all new here! I read Nebula Haze’s tutorial on bud based defoliation. It is excellent. One thing I didn’t read about was actually how leaves are removed. What PRIMARY method do you use when/if you remove fan leaves?

If they're little 'uns, pinching. The bigger they get the woodier they get and are good for snips. Don't pluck anything unless you get yellow, dying leaves right at the end of flowering. Although they'll die and fall of on their own and are inconsequential, there's no need to pluck them... right at the end of flowering. You can wind up pulling a long fiber strip below a healthy leaf if you pluck. It's like a string from celery. I'm not going to tell you what it's called because I don't know.
Also think about how much you're going to defoliate. If only a few leaves, pinch. If you're doing a full on, go with snips or a combo.C'mon, mule!

I personally found that after HEAVY LST from start it was much easier to use snips(i use good grooming scissors) one short 3" and a longer set 6". just for the simple fact my big mitt in there trying to pinch off leaves was causing more damage than i liked. I defoliated twice quite heavy in veg and one final time when flowers were starting. hgShappel S3000 3.5x6x6' ice hut

I guess my method is pluck so that’s what I selected in the poll. I don’t really feel like it is plucking though. I get my finger nice and close to the base of the fan leaf and I fold it down till it snaps off. It works on new and old fans alike and leaves a clean break.Failure is an opportunity for improvement!!
