'heard a funny story…
growfriend was running a commercial grow, owner came in on shrooms one night & read a whiteboard note about a flower room needing defoliating, defoliates 'teens in veg 
room 
, other workers discover the carnage & confusion, growfriend suggests owner isn’t a good gardener & gets fired.

Normally… I don’t recall, if, and when or the plants that I prune. So, I started marking on a pill bottle covered in masking tape the date the plant started flowering, 21d mark for defoliation, 42d mark of defoliation and then a reasonable harvest period. that bottle is has two 1/2" holes drilled through it on the sides near the mouth of the bottle for wires to hang from (I’ll enclose a pic). other than those 2 days marked for defoliation I don’t recall yanking leaves, but apparently, I or the cannabis fairies descend and remove them as needed.

Hey @SquirtleSquad are you still rocking the heavy defoliation into week 5 of flower?
Reason being, I’m about to give mine a haircut (only in early week 2 of flower).
The density of the leaves is crazy, and even with having less tops still looks like hardly any light is penetrating at the center/bottom…
First trim in flower vs 1 week later
Dense vegetation, slow defoliation or take the garbage bag full at once and walk away?

Ohhh yeah. I think im just going to keep stripping them throughout and see how it goes.
I want nice chunky colas, and need light penetration for that!

Diddled with defol and not defol.
Schwazzing is on my to do list.
Day 1 and Day 20.

Wow…it would appear that my defoliation method is waaaaay less sever than that, and if those can survive?!

Lots of people use that technique.
Its crazy to see them survive that. I do little bits here and there. Like 30-50 leaf sessions.

Defol is like biting nails , becomes a bad habit , getting worse and worse over time and grows
The plant will always survive given even the tiniest slightest hope , but this does not mean it wanted or appreciates the added stress , even if it was nature that did it or not : )

Some nice big shrooms you got there, what strain are they 
I started micro dosing 2 weeks ago, already feeling a lot more productive in my life, gets me in the zen zone quickly, may the force be with you.
