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?

To trim or not to trim this bushy Hindu Kush bi ch What could or should I do regarding trimming at this stage? Removing lower leaves or upper? My concern is that while healthy it is very dense, nodes are tight, and I think this might impact yield. 3ft would be my max height (6ft tent), and I will likely flip wk 7/8. Thank you!

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds? Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Buds. Not fattening

Defoliation In 1st Week?I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?
