Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliationWeek 6

would like to know why the stem of my plants go up very quickly without getting fat. I respected the temperature, the humidity, the ph, the soil, the distance of the lamps (40cm) etcetc. It is due to a lack or excesses of something or it is normal? I posted more photos to seeWeek 1

Defoliation - AutoHey 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.

My calendar says these should be done on 9/10/2019 (in 4 days). Do they look like they're ready to harvest, or will they need more than 4 days? It may help to add that I am color blind, so seeing the amber colors of the trichomes is very difficult for me. Any help would be great!Week 16
