Everything looks fine. Stopped feeding them for 2-3 days because of the yellowlish leaf tips. I am thinking to make a defoliation since a week but i am not sure how i should do it. Would appreciate some advice about the defoliation :)

Everyone has their take on Defoli.... I like to do it for air flow purpose and also to direct energy to the tops. I take off the lower nodes (leaves and shoots) when they are in shadows below the canopy. I even removed upper fan leaves if they are in the way of the tops growing. I'm trying a new way right now.... I'm removing just the shoots and not the fan leaves... by doing this, it should once again re-direct energy to the tops but with less shock... I will eventually remove them when the become under shadow or if they start to die off. If you're unsure, just start at the lowest node, remove, wait for a couple of days for recovery, then move on to the 2nd node if needed Happy Growing!

I strongly advise you not to de-leaf your auto flower plant, or any cannabis plant in fact. If you remove healthy green leaves your plants capacity to produce energy will be diminished, resulting in slower growth and possibly smaller flowers. Try only removing yellow leaves, for once they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Hope this helps.... Organoman.
