When is the best time to switch 12/12 lighting? I’m at 39 days, almost 18in tall inside a 63in tent. I’m thinking now is the time.

Looks like you’re ready to flip to 12/12 now. But you could keep them in veg longer if you want larger plants. At this point it’s up to you. Looking very nice btw. Well done so far. 👍

How long until I can start to flush? I want to time it for the early to mid harvest window. I am in CoCo so will probably flush for 7-14 days? I think a lot of the trichomes are now cloudy, a good 75% I think. Very rare ambers, less than 1%, most buds with none.

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?
(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Is it too late for more defoliation
Is it too late for more heavy defoliation? Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys

Should I leave the white veg light on during flowering? The only reason I’m considering it is because I’ve read that the plant still absorbs small amounts of white/green light. I want to maximize the amount of light I have on it but not if it’s a waste of time or detrimental

Q1: I did a slight bit of “lillipopping”, cutting lower sun leaves and small energy wasting budsites. Along with this and slight bits of LST at this stage will it effect bud density for the better or worse? Q2: would a larger space now be worth the effort (1.5x1.5x2m tent)?Thanks

Regarding flushing, specifically in hydroponics - should you do 48 hours of darkness during last two days of flushing, and should you deprive plants of water before harvest? (if so, just drain basin?)

Note that I have two plants in one hydro farm. The small plant is 5 days younger, as many parents experience it was an accident, but I love her nonetheless. I hate to toss one, but have nowhere else to grow it. Can I grow both in the same pot ?

My new lights has a veg and bloom switch for different spectrum, i was thinking of switching off the grow spectrum 2 weeks prior to harvest to simulate the sun being farther at late season , what do you guys think about that? Am i just waisting lights or is it worth the try?
