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

When to start defoliate?
When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

How do you guys check your trichomes? What % of amber do you have? Do check for milky/amber on the leaves or the bud itself? I have a microscope but it’s very hard to use unless I trim a little piece of bud or leaf off and inspect it on a table with my microscope.

I currently have the secondary CFLs (2x65w) sort of below the canopy (see pictures) in an attempt to get more out of the shorter branches. Would I be better off moving them up towards the top or will the lower portion have some use for the light?

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flower
I am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

Just finished my first harvest and I was surprised that I ended with an ounce for my plant. I don't know if this is common? Please take a look at my plant before harvest, and see the size of the buds and what I ended up with. Maybe its too dry after 7 days hanging . Any tips?

What nutrients would you recommend for this grow? I still have some @foxfarms combo nutes. This is all about trying everything until I find what’s best for me. We have a massive amount of knowledge on this site, and I trust growers more than anyone. Thanks in advance.
