How many of you remove the leaves just below the top pistils to allow the light to get further down. I've done a fair amount of defoliation already just curious what others do. Most if not all of those pistils are an inch across. I'm thinking anything without significant trichs needs to go. They are 4 weeks into flower.

Leaves are needed to collect light to provide energy to build and produce flowers. Better to remove a few at a time every 2-3 days over several weeks while flowering. OK to remove some huge shade leaves that may be blocking light to lower branches and to improve air circulation. What the pictures shows looks good for now. As you get closer to harvest you can slowly remove more big leaves. Good job!

Nah man i wouldn't worry unless humidity rises out of normal range. Lookin good otherwise...might be longer trimming and harvest but oh well. What kind of lights btw?
All LED's. vegged with (4) Oneo 1000w ($89 amazon) lights and have added Mars tsw2000 and Spider farmer SF2000. Using GH Flora grow and bloom. Feed full strength almost everyday till runoff. They are at that stage where they change everyday. Amazing! If someone is on a budget I would highly recommend the Oneo lights.
