Pruning / defoliation of Pineapple Express auto

Sticky1started grow question 5y ago

Should I start pruning off lower leaves and or secondary bud sites / cola, so the plant concentrates on the main cola I have created with lst? Or do I just let it do it’s own thing for a while at this stage?

Week three of bloom cycle , Looks like a lot of bud sites , maybe I should have removed a lot of smaller bud sites on the bottom to help the bigger buds on the top , would it be too late in the bloom cycle to remove the lower smaller growth on my really leafy plants😏😏✋

Defoliation in flowering stage Now that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches? Thanks again, all help is appreciated.

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

The trichomes on this strain are much smaller than the unknown bagseed I last grew. Do they naturally vary by strain or have I done something wrong? Last time I used different nutes - could that be a factor? Thanks friends! 😗

Do you think I need to change my watering? I has 3 plants in a 30 gallon tub of super soil. One was male and I cut it out after it showed sex about week 5 from seed. Should I stay on the same time schedule and less water or less frequently? It will be interesting .
