EC is too high, it's a mix of lockout and nute burn, dial it back; a lot. Try at 1.0 EC

Leaves look strange
The leaves on Lemon Punch C & Sweet Gelato have a very strange formation. They seem to have no real order and are pretty tiny. Is this due to the high winds or what can it be?

Fan leaves in early
I’m only 5 days into flower but could do with some fan leaves removing to let light in underneath. However I only just defoliated the day before flower roughly 6 days ago. Would it still be ok to clip a few off?

Too many? Too big?
Are these huge fan leaves gonna create a problem with the growth of this plant?? Can these be taken off to give new growth underneath some light without damage to the plant?? Or just leave her be?

Early flower stage advise
So the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??
As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day

Nodes and Leaves that don't receive light, cut off ?
So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?

When to start defoliating
Defoliating plants? When do you guys generally start stripping back leaves? And are they worth keeping at vegging stage? Just for context, very light LST, so no lollipoping etc. Cheers

Plant not flowering
After 13 weeks this lady is not flowering- every time I see the new growth it just develops into more leaves! She has also streched massively over the last 4 weeks as if she's just about to flower but nothing. She was a free auto seed I got but seems like she's a dud?

Defoliating autoflower
What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.

Big Cat Kush -
The Big Cat Kush has some very thick, small growth near the base (lots of small leaves). Never had this happen before. Is this normal for BC Kush? Should I thin it out?
