Foliage looks nice and clean.. Totally up to you if you wanna cut leaves or not. The impulse to Affect and change the grow is pretty powerful in us so of course we wanna change things to make it improve.... Allow your plant to grow.

Trimming?
Do I need to give her a nice trim since she’s going into flowering? She’s getting pretty thick in the center and I want to get the best plant possible.

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?
Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light? I am in day 13 of flowering I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.

More defoliating?
I keep on asking this question a lot but with my lemon 2 the bushy one should I leave her as she is and tuck leaves away allowing light to bud sites or do you think I should do some defoliating as there are just so many leaves!

Should I cut some leaves?
Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.

Has anyone experienced growth similar to specimen 2. (s.2) It's 95% not a pH issue; so if that's your solution just keep it to yourself lol.

Should I be looking at more defoliation on my plants? I am ending the first week of flower and already they seem crazy bushy. I know its not recommended in flower but I feel like I have a lot of fan leaves that may be in the way of bud sites. Let me know if you need more pics.

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?

Could you look at the last set of pics I posted, give me ur educated guess on what’s up. I think it’s either water or heat stress. It was quite dry last time I watered it.

Should I defoliate my 7-week old autoflower
It’s very bushy and some bud sites are covered with leaves. I’ve been tucking those leaves to improve light coverage but I’m not sure if this is enough.

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?
