Hello @Bulbi ! You don't have to turning the plants. No matter if you turning them around your plant will receive the same amount of photons emitting from the lamp ! Nothing will change that. The sun didn't evolved and started moving for the favor of the plants but plants evolved in order to take advantage the movement of the sun and maximize the photosynthetic rate by using various mechanisms called tropism. One of theme is called positive phototropism ( its the phenomenon that leaves turning towards the sun). The only thing that you can achieve by this is a more uniform growth but the total weight of yield will be the same. Happy growing ! 👊

I would say it depends on your light distribution. I have not noticed any difference, so I don't do it

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!

Defoliation I haven't done any defoliation, should I be? It's now day #21-23 from soil are they doing ok? Is it ok to leave that big fan on at the bottom most of the day? I have been putting it outside and dimming the light to 25% when I sleep leaving front flap open I'm really enjoying

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering. Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?
