I noticed that the EC Runoff level is lower than what I am feeding to the plants? Is this a good or bad thing. Any suggestions?

It's a normal thing and it's good for you : it means your babies are eating nutrients, which tends to decrease the electrical conductivity. I'll be around, happy growing bro!

Yes the soil is absorbing some of the nutrients from the solution effectively filtering it

Is it ok to cut off these dead leaves? I've never defoliated before and I'm not sure where I should be cutting from.

When should I stop defoiling my plant?
Hey everyone! I'm heading into the 3rd week of flower, is it too late to defoil one more time?? Or do I just let it ride? It seems the plant didn't mind the first 2 week defoil but I dont want to over stress it.

Pruning / defoliation of Pineapple Express auto
Should I start pruning off lower leaves and or secondary bud sites / cola, so the plant concentrates on the main cola I have created with lst? Or do I just let it do it’s own thing for a while at this stage?

Do you defoliate your autos.
Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!

Defoliation
I haven't done any defoliation, should I be? It's now day #21-23 from soil are they doing ok? Is it ok to leave that big fan on at the bottom most of the day? I have been putting it outside and dimming the light to 25% when I sleep leaving front flap open I'm really enjoying

Should I take leaves away? Maybe defoilation or something like that
Because I tried to do a lst first, but them her stem broke, she has grown in a very strange position. Aren't her leaves in the way for the but sites? Should I do something?

Zu viel des guten ?
Hab vor paar Tagen meine purple kush verloren wegen Schimmel . Wollte nicht das es auch so bei meinen großen Ladies geschieht und hab kurz gesagt ne Menge an Blättern weggeschnitten für eine bessere Lüftung. Hab ich eventuell zu viele abgetrennt?

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?
Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y

Defoliation and are they doing well?
Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Should I defoliate?
Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. It’s day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. I’ve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks 😊
