I don't defoliate, but I do selectively remove certain leaves. I just don't want people thinking that removing leaves is a bad thing. Everything in moderation! In veg, removing leaves seams to initiate a POSITIVE response, IME. I can remove a leaf that is blocking a lower branch from reaching up to the canopy and gain another top, why wouldn't I remove that leaf? That is an instance where removing a leaf will increase your yeild-it's common sense. Who would rather have a big fan leaf that shades a lower branch that will produce larf over a nice developed top? I dunno, maybe some people get off on that but not me.
