Pruning / defoliation of Pineapple Express auto

Sticky1started grow question 6y 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?

Based on the dreadful pictures I have, does anyone agree she is ready to be cut? Will have to trust me when I say there seems to be the majority of trichomes either cloudy or amber. I know the leaves are bad looking, I think she got too hot for a few days when I went away :(

5 gallon pot, in middle of 4th week veg, roots already starting to come out the bottom drain holes! Should I be worried about binding? I thought 5 gal would be more than enough for the whole grow? What happens if too much root comes out the drain hole, do I clip it back?

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

Defoliation and lollipop Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?
