<span class="link_user">@Stick</span>, thanks for the advice :+1:much appreciated! I never usually have to defoliate this early but she&#039;s just so bushy it&#039;s unreal. Thanks again! :raised_hands:

Hi <span class="link_user">@Maxranger</span>! You can remove leaves at a very young age, if you do it slightly (2 leaves at a time, max), it can be useful if those leaves are creating shades onto lower stems. However, a real defoliation (more than 2 leaves) shouldn&#039;t be done until week 3-4, and only if the plant is healthy. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! :facepunch:
