Check this page out, reasonable explanation...to me, sugar leaf is only the small protruding leaves, usually as singles, that emerge from the developing and mature buds. When you dig into the bud when trimming , they may have 3 leaves but are quite small

Farmall Thanks for the good link. I was looking to defoliate the long 3 finger leaves them had second thoughts since they appear to be growing from the cola. Started to wonder if they should go or not.

I will leave them a lot of times, cut them the last week of flowering before I chop and put them in my Hash bags.

if it sparkles .......
