Defoliating dense and bushy plant in flower
I think I know what I can do better next time, but for now, what can I do to manage such a dense and bushy plant? I defoliated five days ago, but she keeps bouncing back quickly. Should I continue removing leaves as needed, or would that cause too much stress? Day 25

Sticky resinous leaves
My Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.

Should I defoliate?
Hello everyone my plant has grown VERY bushy and the fan leaves are crowding together and turning each other upside down. (See second pic) So I was wondering if I should just take off the fan leaves from the secondary shoots.

Final weeks of flower, am I ready?
I am curious if you all think I'm burning her with light or nutrients perhaps? I'm feeding every other day about 1-1.5 liters with 5ml bloom. 12/12, 20" away from light.

Fan leaves in early
I’m only 5 days into flower but could do with some fan leaves removing to let light in underneath. However I only just defoliated the day before flower roughly 6 days ago. Would it still be ok to clip a few off?

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First Grow
My plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Hey everyone, I constantly feel the need to defoliate more because the plants seem way too dense to me. What do you think? Should I just let the little ones do their thing, defoliate again at a certain point later, or be diligent and do it every few days? (see report)

Bushy Genetics
How do you deal with a genetically bushy strain, especially if you plan to ScrOG? Do you knuckle up all nodes but the tips, then LST? Or let him grow and give him time? (My OG Kush needs some advice)
