Good evening grow community.First thing I'm look for advice on I have some gigundore fan leaves is it ok to defoliate them in particular or are they needed im not saying take all of them but just a few in particular areas.........Next I'm just looking for a general consensus I'm hoping many will weigh in......How many weeks do you generally veg before flipping. Thanks everyone for all of your input

The adult fan leaves can be removed but don’t have to be unless they are restricting air flow. it is personal preference but can have consequences. I used to defoliate early and often but I noticed it stunted their growth. It didn’t make them unhealthy but it did slow them slightly. Now I only remove leaves in veg if they are hindering air. Once it goes to the flowering light cycle I give them a light deleafing before the flip. At about day 20 I strip all the fans except the top nodes. This is my preference and, unless a strain doesn’t like training, it is how I do all of the plants now.
