Did I overdo it on the defo ?

I think it maybe a little to much, see how she goes. You will know for the next run for sure. It's all about learning what the strain likes and dont like. Cheers friend

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stageHi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.5y ago

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right?
I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks3y ago

As you can see above I've got two Blue Dream Clones I'm Monster Cropping. My question is when should I top them? They are currently reveging( I'm not sure if this is a transitional phase, or the mark of true reveg). Should I wait for their first fan leaves to form? Or go for it?Week 4

Defoliation technique?How many times can I defoliate during flower or how often can I do it?
Beginning of week 3 and I've defoliated heavily twice already but the canopy is overly thick again.
Will I stress my flowering girls if I keep the defoliation at every 10 days?Week 8
