I'm not a believer in defoliating. I suggest tucking and moving in order to get leaves out of the way

Those are beautiful leaves with plenty of food in them still. Take that away and you're taking food away.

What pigeon said.. I just finished my first grow and did a.defol in veg and flowering, all it did was set me back. All you do is pretty much force the plant to grow new leaves.

I'd agree, especially when the plant is so small. If you can, either tuck or tie the leaves out of the way.

I flipped her him into flower about 4 days ago and I don't want the baby chutes blocking out the main stem from the light. So I'll continue tucking until I get room to tie off

I feel your pain of continually tucking. The leaves work their way out of that tucked position eventually, and you end up tucking the same leaves over and over. I got tired of this and decided to tie the big fan leaves out of the way, by using wire to hold them to their main branches. This works extremely well, and you're not stressing the plant at all, really. You could also tie the leaves down to the lid of your container, etc.

That's a great idea Jojo!!!! Never thought about that!
