you can do it in bloom when the buds are formed. and it will stress a bit but you can do it

Autoflowers are on fixed timeline (generally 70-90days from seed) Cutting anything will remove energy from the plant and lose potential yield. Leave this method to more experienced growers. & Apply it to Photoperiod plants, NOT autoflowers!!! read guide about LST (Low stress training) and apply it for better yields with autoflowers. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-low-stress-training-n100

Should I be looking at more defoliation on my plants? I am ending the first week of flower and already they seem crazy bushy. I know its not recommended in flower but I feel like I have a lot of fan leaves that may be in the way of bud sites. Let me know if you need more pics.

Should I try to further defoliate in the middle and lower parts of the plants to let more light to all budding sites? The plants are extremely bushy and it is difficult to reach into the middle to remove leaves.

I could use a little feedback about my variegated leaves. I provided pictures. I would say she has about 10% variegation. Ph, PPM, Temps, Humidity, are all within normal parameters. I'm running a 260wQB in a 4x4 tent. She is about 20" from the light. Other plants are fine.
