I have 2 Santa Marta Gold plants in 7 gal grow bags using FFOF soil and FF nutes. The plants are 4 weeks old and I have been seriously considering a partial defoliation and removal of limbs that I feel will not produce a bud. The fan leaves are quite large and now the plants are big enough to take the shock of the process. The lowest limbs are under consideration for removal along with a couple of fan leaves.
My thoughts are that with the partial defoliation it will encourage the plant to push the new growth. Am I on the right track or is this something that is a personal choice with irrelevant or harmful results?
I am not concerned with the appearance of the top growth that is where I badly pinched it and tore some of it.
