Currently, we are a few weeks away from flipping to 12-12, so we choose to open the growth nodes to light and air using heavy defoliation of the fan leaves. With defoliation, we are looking down into the plant and removing fan leaves which block lower growth nodes.

We allow our plants at least 1 week recovery time before flipping to 12-12.

A few weeks before flipping to 12-12, we choose to open the growth nodes to light and air using heavy defoliation of the fan leaves. We also choose to top many of the side branches which are in the top third of the plant.
