Hello all. Tho I am not new to growing, I am still v much an amateur. Additionally, I haven’t grown anything for around a decade. Back then, defoliation wasn’t a part of my growing vocabulary, and I’ve never done it. Also back then, everything was bag seed. So this is my first time with real genetics and also my first hydro grow.
Today I’ve got some Northern Lights Photoperiod by Royal Queen Seeds
I’m 44 days from germination.
Started quadline 3 days ago
Running GH nutes (that’s nute stain on the roots)
So my question is “if and when to defoliate?” Because holy shit. I’ve never had a plant grow so damn stout and bushy. I used to fear reaching hps lights and now I fear training my plant.
I’d love to talk this out. If you want any other information/photos let me know.

Hi Peach, it looks like she will be really healthy at the flip. Maybe a couple weeks into flower is when you’d consider defoliating.
no need to, maybe in a week or two if you’re going for a certain structure where you’re needing to manipulate her
