i would break up the defoliation up in the week before flower a little and a week after a little, your plant is going into flower and you want to help keep her stress levels low. so break it up and you will be fine

You can do a little first 2 weeks into flower, remove what you want the last 2 weeks. Cheers

When to Defoliate 4 Week Autos
When should I start defoliation/leaf thinning? My Tangerine Dream and Glue Gelato are getting a lil gnarly. Also want even light to the bottom of the plants. On week 4 day 3 naps with my 4 autos. Don’t want to stress, but I do want even looking plants. Thanks!

Is it too late for more defoliation
Is it too late for more heavy defoliation? Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys

How long do you think I should wait before making the switch to 12/12 ? The green gelato is becoming purple on the tips of the leafs. Is it normal for this strain ? Thank you!

Can I add more soil during flowering? She’s growing a bit slanted so I think adding soil could help her stabilize.

Stunted or Not - How to tell?
What constitutes a stunt when it's your first time out and have very little reference of a non stunted seedling? Attached pictures are 6 days from when I wet the seeds, 1 day after transfer to soil as I sprouted inside rapid rooters.

Is it weird for a hermie plant to have pistils and anthers inside a male ball at the internodes?
So I’ve seen this before on an auto flower run. All turned out with no seeds but I have 2 monkeyberry plants rn that look like they have that exact same thing going on. Am I wrong in thinking this is weird or is it normal for herm plants to have pistils and anthers in male ball.
