Im planning on my final defoliation to be on Day 21 flower. Should I remove every fan leaf/any leaf not directly attached to the bud or is that too much? How do some of you go about your final defoliation?

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?
How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Too early for defoliation/topping?
Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early? On the Jack Herrer, (3) is it too small for topping?

SCROG in 2.5 weeks Flower - Thin out the canopy or not?
Its my first SCROG grow. I am 19 days into flower and there is still a tiny bit of stretch still. Should I thin out the canopy or leave it alone and let it finish as-is? I don't want to stunt their bud development. What do you think, are they too crowded?

I am using a crude yeast and sugar water mix for CO2 production. My space is 80cm x 3m x 2.3m. Does anyone have any experience of whether this is doing anything? I have the fan on constantly so the air is being recycled. Just wondering if what I am doing is worth it?

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?

How many times should she be watered before harvest in order to flush properly? She has been drinking about 1L every 3-5 days. She received her last dose of nutes 9/29 and soil still felt damp this morning 10/2.

Cutting or not cutting
Hi everyone, I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them? Thank you

Do you guys add flowering nutrients right after preflower? personally i don't count the first 14 days as flowering So what is the right way? Right after preflower? or Week 5 after 12/12 (so 14 days preflower + 3 weeks into flower) Always wondering how others do it
