    Im a newbie grower on southern Vancouver Island, B.C., when should I defoliate, my outdoor plant? and prune out the lower, shaded branches that would not produce quality flower? I feel like I should do this now, maybe Im even too late??

    How far are you into the grow? You don’t have to but it can be advantageous. Esp. if it’s a really 🔥 plant and you want to make lots of little plants from it.

        Okay, so you should still be in the vegetative phase! That means yeah go right ahead and cut as many clones off that thing as you want, via whatever method you normally use, if you do indoor grows during the winter for example. And of course if you don’t want to make clones from it, you can just do whatever trimming is necessary, but clones are good! You can always give them away to indoor growers.

    It’s never too late to remove lower shaded growth.

    Take cuts and give them to others that you can get them returned to you in spring or veg all winter and you can have giants in spring
