Is it ok to cut off these dead leaves? I've never defoliated before and I'm not sure where I should be cutting from.

Absolutely. Cut from where the stem meets the base just try not to cut into the base. You can leave a little nubby if it puts your mind at ease.

Sure, remove those leave, or leave them and they will fall on their own, it does not really matter, as they wither they will come off with barely a touch.

Hello just press on the stems of the yellow leafs and they should just fall away clear any dead leafs away from top of pot as they can harbour bugs👍🏻

Should I defoliate?
Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. It’s day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. I’ve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks 😊

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?
Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

What products nutrient wise would you recommend for boosting my autoflowering plants immune system? Any that specifically deal with heat stress resistance? Maybe that’s just wishful thinking...

When would you suggest, I introduce Canna PK 13/14? I have started to notice white pistols, that I assume is a sign that it's in pre-flower (refer to videos above). What is the optimal PH, PPM, Humidity and Temp at this stage? From the videos, do you see any deficiency?

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?

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?
Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering. Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?

Has anybody had any luck and/or experience with those RapidLED Far Red Initiator Pucks? https://www.rapidled.com/far-red-initiator-puck/ I'm gonna be growing autos primarily, so not looking to recreate the Emerson Effect, but rather just accelerate growth.

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.
