She's grown pretty big for an autoflower, you've done a good job.
- I'd probably take some of the biggest fan leaves.. No more than 1 or maybe 2 a day.. Probably only a single leaf, once every other day tho, as to not stress her much and let her heal between cuts. Especially after 2 toppings, tho you've certainly done the toppings right, judging by her size.

Let her heal from the Topping, then defoil as required but in low batches as to not stress her out too much

I've read a lot when it pertains to defoliation. My plan is to wait a week or two longer before I defoliat them for the first time. Any suggestions on defoliation? I understand trimming leaves that block bud sites bud any other advice would be helpful!Week 5

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.5y ago

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Should I defoliate next week?Should I defoliate next week? Advise what would be better, leave the leaves until harvest, or defoliate leaves heavily now to expose buds only? Check my diary for photos! https://growdiaries.com/diaries/186142-grow-journal-by-liliaroseWeek 7

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?
