I would ease back on the defoliation. I currently am running 16 plants of this strain I have noticed all the plants that have had defoliation have smaller buds and are less developed. Other than that the ak-49 strain is hardy as hell.
@TheMayor4434, thanks for the knowledge sir! I know that seems to be such a divided opinion when it comes to autos, but I thought what the heck. I didn't defoliate on my first run with my Gelato autos. So, I defoliated once in week 5 and again in week 6. I'm going to take your advice, and just let her go from here on out! Much appreciated! 👍
