Bloom defol. How much and where??
Hi guys, as you can see, bloom has cometh! I have defoliated the lower parts of the plants, now I'm wondering how much more to take off?? I cant tell where the ideal spot of keeping leaves is. I am taking off inner fan leaves as much as I can, but am wondering, how much is safe.

Pre-flower defoiliation
I flipped my lights to 12/12 about 4 days ago and I don't believe I done a well enough job on defoiliating. The plants are healthy but the canopy looks a little crowded. Can I defoiliate now or should I wait until the pre flower stretch is finish

Would a few days of rain stunt its growth a lot? Would that effect yield? The rain isn't the problem as I will bring it under cover but then it won't get much sun

We’re using all living soil rich with castings, mycorrhizae, sea compost and gaia green 4-4-4. We’ve only been feeding water but just wondering is anyone nutrient feeds on top of using living soil?

Auto defoliation during flowering?
My autos are 40-44" tall from top of soil...they seem massive or maybe this is normal. Question is, is defoliation acceptable throughout flowering for large fan leaves? All my pics are post defoliation not pre. Thoughts? Thx in advance!

There are several tops that are lower down than the main tops. Should I remove any of these, since they won't get as much light?

Too early for defoliation/topping?
Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early? On the Jack Herrer, (3) is it too small for topping?

"Survey Says!". Wrapping this grow up and germinating my new crop the same day as these girls get cut down (gotta keep it legal😉). My question is Blue cookies, fem or NL fem. If you've grown them please weigh in!!! I'm torn on what to pick, for reals.

Is this too much defoliation or just enough? I have just switched to flower today.

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?

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation question
I'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

Is she too bushy/ leafy
I was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now. 1. How much to take off 2. Pics of what she should look like after. Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Currently In Week 8 of Veg in ScrOG Setup - When Should I Flip to Flower?
I started a Scrog set up and believe I am in final stages to flip to flower. Let me know if I should flip now? I am afraid of overfilling and suffocating growing buds. Do I need to do some defoliation prior to the flip, or wait until a few weeks into flower? See Wk 8 Veg

Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(
I've just removed 2 big fan leaves that were potential light blockers. I've just read that defoliating when flowering can stress the plant and reduce yield. The first pistels have appeared in the last few days and I only removed two leaves. Is it likely I've ruined it?
