Defoil more or not? Remove small buds?

Arasaristarted grow question 6y ago

As i have never mainlined a plant before im asking if i should do some more defoliation or remove some small buds at the bottom. Will this help to gain some more yield from the main buds?

At this point i'd just leave them. Make some bubble has with them or even butter.. I wouldn't cut anything off. 👊

Should I prune small branches with small bud?Should I cut off these small branches (growing horizontally to the left) with bud growing on them? Would pruning small branches be detrimental to the plant this late into growth? Are these small branches pulling that much energy/nutrients that could go to the main buds instead?

Triple cola on my Auto?Hey, I’m growing a Jack Herer Auto from Fast Buds outdoors, and I noticed my plant naturally split into 3 main colas at the top – no topping, no LST, nothing. Is this some kind of mutation or is it just something that happens sometimes? This isn’t the usual growth pattern, right?

Any help would be great Hey guys! Just curious as to what I should do with her? Maybe harvest now and use the leaves and stuff for eatables or hold off to see if she gives me anything? Tric's are a little cloudy and some clear, smell is not too strong, but there is no visible flowers....
