I will go a step further.... At no stage in the plants development except very early will removing one leaf make any difference

Hi Growers!👋 I'm in sore need of your help and advice. As you can see, I've a very specific handmade growbox(dimensions on the first week). The light right now is about 30cm above the plants, and I don't know what to do in the very near future: LST/HST/Topping or ScrOG Thanks!🙌

How far do you defoliate your mainlined autos?
A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?

I know I am nearing the end of this journey, that started. Many months ago with some seedy weed. I also know I need to be patient, however should I partially harvest the larger plant? The smaller plant isn’t there yet as is the lower sections of the big plant, any views?

I'm curious I've been flushing her out, the guy at the grow store is trying to get me to use a bloom booster right now. Doesn't make sense to me. But I do want the best result. Do I let her go? It give her a boost? Thanks!

LST/Defoliation Advice
I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?
First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?
When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?
