Defoliate during Flush?

Jason

Just started to Flush, Week 12 in the GH schedule. Is there any harm with cutting most or all fan leaves?
I want to do an incremental harvest, leaving on some of the low branches to see how they develop for a few days.
I want to be able to see into the plant better, thus remove the large leaves.
But I don't want to do any harm on my first grow.
Thanks for any insights.
 
Howdy Jason, Also, if You plan to use the leaf trim, for edibles, tea, or to smoke, They will not get the 'bad tasting' stuff out of them. I would 'leaf' them on the plant during the flush.
 
Right! Hadn't thought of that. I will be using every non flower part of the plant, mostly for Green Dragon.
 
For me, defoliating is for veg uoto and right throughout flowering. By the time you get to Flushing it`s all a formality, nought more can be really achieved except from the point of pics.
 
Jason, what I did on my last harvest (Feb 28) was to cut off all the fan leaves the night before I cut em down. I had some time on my hands and wanted to get that part of the trimming out of the way.
