You can defoliate without much worry up until the third week of flower.. after that i'd stop until your about to harvest.. Just make sure you have a reason is it covering a bud site and you can't tuck it down and away? then cut it! Happy growing!

Yes of course. Especially in veg state. Just stay away from the leaves near the bud sites.

Hey everyone. I just took this picture and I think I see amber trichomes on the lower right. Is this true? If not, how much longer do you think it will be? Please download the pic and zoom in if you don't see them at first.

This run was planted in 1 Gallon Fabric Pots - They are doing very well at the moment, I thought I may want to move them into bigger pots, I feel like they would stall a bit, focusing on root production, but wasn't sure if it would create any permanent negative harm to plants.

Question regarding humidity
Currently, the humidity in my tent is ~55%. The plants are in the early flowering stage, so I am worried about mold. Does anyone know if the humidity is too high or can provide a solution without an electric dehumidifier?
