I need a little help from an "old rabbit"..... nothing wild.7/8 day of bloom. I would like to know when to defoliate in bloom? Not at all at first? 2nd week? Every week? It gets very tight all around. So I would like to remove everything from the bottom that doesn't get light. Thanks in advance.

Mainlining or any other Tips, recommendations ?I'm a rookie, first time trying mainlining. Currently in second week of flowering. Although from side it looks chaotic, the canopy seems uniform?

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Does exposing lower bud sites that were previously completely shaded through defoliation make them grow bigger? Providing of course the plants are healthy. Thanks!Techniques. Defoliation

What Would You Do: Day 40 Defol, Yes / No?One plant's fan leaves are building trichomes, but it has more fan leaves than the other plant & they are needing to be tucked daily.
Both plants never had issues with the previous defoliating. 3-4 wks left before chop day.
So, would you defoliate one last time?

When should I defoliate and/or prune?I'm trying to Scrog and Defoliate to improve yield and quality. When should I turn to 12/12 cycle and when to heavily defoliate? Indica strains so shouldn't grow that much height, right? Now I'm just spreadin them wider around the net since they are growing bushy/relatively short

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.
