Thanks for stopping in MGT,I just didn't have the funds to get em this round. Next rounds gonna be real fun as there's Soo many strains to choose from in my garden at the moment.
So HS does the lvpk like defoliation? Light or heavy?
I've been plucking bigger leafs here and there but would she take a medium to heavy plucking just before flip?
As BG has stated with roots like yours she'll let you strip off as many leaves as you want. Remember that she does better with less intense light for the buds but likes huge amounts of light in veg.
She will respond nicely to a pruning / defoliating; however her lower buds are denser than most strains so leave all thick branches even if you think a prune might be in order. Getting rid of the little sapper / sucker branches is a good idea.
