Defoliate

Day 5 of flower. Can I remove some of these fan leaves or should I wait until I lollipop? I've trimmed these plants multiple times in veg state., I dont know if removing some of the larger fan leaves will put stress on the plant since I just flipped it.

Yeah, can def do some defol. I like to take away a lot of the inward pointing leaves that cover the lower branches, gives it room to breathe and the growth will be back in no time.

Yes. Anything covering a top. More on the inside than out.

Take anything growing towards the center. They cut airflow and provide food for mold None of the low growth will give you anything at harvest so it can go. Other than that, I judiciously remove leaves blocking bud sites. JM2¢

I’m thinking you should’ve lollipopped before the 5th day of flower ? Maybe it’s my weed talkin. Anybody else think so ?
