Did I overdo it on the defo ?
Each individual main branch has at least 3 goodly sized fan leaves left.

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

So far I have received the following advice from enough to make it look reasonable.

At start of light today in this tent I noticed this single top bud looking a little shriveled or curled compared to the others. What could cause this? Plant is not showing any other signs, but is getting over a very brief fungus gnat infection.Week 11

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?Week 1

I’m doing an early harvest of 2 plants. I wanted to dry the buds in the tent, with the remaining 5 plants, as I don’t have any other air conditioned location in the house. There is a dark space above the lights. 25c & 45% RH atm. Is it a viable idea? Or should I just never do it?Week 11

Defoliate a flowering auto?Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful?
Thanks!Week 7
