Hi! It looks like the flowering is still in early phases so if you feel öike you can still defoliate. But from what I understand it is not that important in outdoors cos sunlight penetrates leafs easily but artificial Light does not

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600. General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!

Trimming?
Do I need to give her a nice trim since she’s going into flowering? She’s getting pretty thick in the center and I want to get the best plant possible.

If this were your plant, what would you be doing to it right now? Leaving it alone? Trimming fan leaves? Are those brown spots a concern (they are only on a few leaves)?

This q is for my Candy Cane Auto. I know I likely should have went right into a 3+g pot, instead I used a jiffy puck and a small container with my medium of choice. I decided that I best transplant before she gets too developed. Will she be stunted? They are at day 6, all intact.

Help! I have The biggest question of them all, what is the best advice you can give to a first time grower who thinks they’re heading into harvest? When, how, curing, etc... I got jeweler loop and I do see some that are cloudy on the large colas. Not so much on the smalls ones.

Could anyone answer me If I should cut underdeveloped buds that are not receiving much light in order to switch energy to the more developed ones? I've heard this should be avoided but I'm just wondering. Thanks!

Not sure what’s going on with “Kings Banner #1”, with its hanging leaves, but have a feeling it’s been over watered. Plants were watered on 6/4, fed on 6/8, and watered again on 6/11. Due to flip to flower and feed on 6/15. Should I wait longer to feed make sure she dries out?
