I feel like my grow is completely messy and blocking light to bud sites, will defoliating some of the side branches kill my plant and hurt my yields?

Flushing.. Im thinking about starting to flush, as described in week 19 dairy update but Im fearing that it might be to early or late or if I really need to flush two weeks. My pots are only 3,5-4 liters and nutrients is organic. So how do I know when and how long to flush?

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community. I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6? After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.

Ive got 2-3 weeks to go, as you can see by the Week 11 lower canopy pics I missed some bud sights on the lower levels when defoliating. They are still mostly pistils and I know they wont get a ton of light or develop alot. Is it worth the stress to remove them now or let em go?

Defoliation Advice
Should I start pulling the leaves at the bottom that are yellowing/dying? I've read that first time growers shouldn't attempt defoliation on the first grow.

Testing out my grow box and it’s running at temps from 85-89 degrees. Will this hurt the plants in a hydro setup? I haven’t checked water temps yet. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have the Supercloset Superbox setup with SuperPonics 8.

What do you do when one of your Autos flowered super early on one side, and is now fish tailing like a mofo? You’ll see the pics where one aide looks really matured and I’m starting to see some amber trichomes.. But you’ll see on the other side, she looks great and is growing.

So, check the trichomes from this bottom bud... the ones up there are more advanced.. how many days till harvest, what do you think? a sample from two weeks ago already got me stoned... it was a lower bud too =) if you can, post a link to a picture from a ripe bud or trichome...

Prune bushy top of small plant?
One of my plants is kinda short but bushy on top, so i was wondering if i should maybe remove some leaves so that the lower parts of the plant will get more light ? Plant in question is 4 weeks old now and around 12cm in height.

Hi all! Just started week 8. I will give her 3ml bloom nutrients (Bbizz) till the end of week 9, so two weeks yet. Then I will flush and water her for another week, or liitle more, with just water. What do you think guys? Also, what should I do with the soil after harvest? Cheers
