Defoliation/pruning guides
Is defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.

The question is do I defoliate the outdoor plants? I figure outdoor should be the same as indoor and it should work. I also know the sun is extremely hot and maybe keeping the fan leaves is better. I have a plant starting budding and wonder if I should Any help is appreciated

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! 🙏

I've basically thrown all training out the window. I am not doing much more than just letting it grow. The tent really needs more lighting but that isn't going to happen this grow. I presume that flowering will begin within the week. What do I need to be doing right now?

I've been taking tons macro shots and I've noticed there are some small white dots in the leaves (especially young ones) that look like small trichomes but I don't think they are that. I wonder, what are they? And what's the most accurate and/or scientific name for those dots?

Could anyone answer me If I should cut underdeveloped buds that are not receiving much light in order to switch energy to the more developed ones? I've heard this should be avoided but I'm just wondering. Thanks!

Defoliation - Auto
Hey guys, What do you think about defoliation? I’m growing two autos in one of my tents and they got huge. I wasn’t expecting. They are producing some buds in their lower parts and by consequence of the lack of light they are too small. Day 44 - Runtz Auto

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

by looking at this weeks pictures, is it fair to say I nute burned her? I cut back the nutes from 1ml to 0.25, also it's been 5 whole weeks with very little to non pistils, should I be worried at this point? She's grown quite a lot in the last 7-10 days.
