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

Where to prune fan leaves?Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

To prune or not to prune?I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Should I defoliate or not? Stunted autoBasically at the end of week 3 of flower. Question is, to defoliate or not to defoliate? She’s stunted by about 2 weeks already and I don’t think she’s going to stretch anymore… would she benefit from a light defoliation? A heavy one? Or would it be better to avoid it altogether?

Defoliate? Auto Week2 flower high humidityI’m struggling to keep relative humidity below 65%-70%.
Should I defoliate some lower fan leaves to help with this? Will doing so hurt overall yield? I’m at beginning of week 2 of flower. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Should I have trimmed the Bush?More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Pruning lower growthI read that in maximizing yield you trim off the lowest two set of branches. I am growing my plant horizontally to accumulate more budsites without the use of topping until I have the desired amount of branches. Is it safe to remove the lower two sets of branches?

Can I defoliate lightly during flower after week 3?My plant is doing very well however the fan leaves having gotten a bit much. I'm about to go into week 5 of flower and I'm wondering if I can remove a few fan leaves to help lower humidity and increase light penetration to the other bud sites?

Pruning????Hello everyone.
I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto
It is the 7th week.
They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping?
Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?
