Should I defoliate more then I did?
Should I defoliate more then I did? I went to the second and third leaf on all mains. Kinda thinking Id leave more of the smaller stuff on the lower but I think I did an ok job with LST and Topping to keep the bottoms pretty cleanish. Plant 2 maybe more from the FIMMED top?

Defoliate?
I'm debating doing some defoliation. Is the growth of this plant bushy enough to benefit from it? Newbie here.

I am running Fox Farm Coco Loco soil in this grow. What should my PH range be? The reason I am asking is I see a few successful grows with PH ranges in soil from 5.8 to 6.5 for Fastbuds strains. I am definitely confused as to what to keep my range at.

Week three of bloom cycle , Looks like a lot of bud sites , maybe I should have removed a lot of smaller bud sites on the bottom to help the bigger buds on the top , would it be too late in the bloom cycle to remove the lower smaller growth on my really leafy plants๐๐โ

It is the end of 9th week (5th of flowering) and the hairs are becoming curled and brown. Now, I cannot see if thricomes are milky because I have no microscope so my question is: how can I understand when to flush the plants? Is it now the right time or should I wait a week more?

Why would my PH level jump from 5.6-5.8 to 7+ in a 24 hour period? I leave for 2 days every weekend so no one to tend to my plants. I don't want to deal with a lock out.

So I have 8 main Colas and what I plan to do is harvest 7 Colas at their highest THC level and then leave 1 Cola to have highest CBD level. Currently the trichoms are mostly cloudy(with few clear ones) What is the best approach for harvest in this situation?

Hello! MB it is dumb question, but still. I plan to move my growbox so i wont disturb anybody. And I want to switch lights from 18 to 20 hours. Would it cause any problem after 3 weeks on 18 hour regime? Thank you.

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage
Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

Heavy train on autos
What do you guys think about my diarys last vid. Had autos and did heavy training on them, just to see how they react later on and di they survive stress. ( Accidentally super cropped one main branch) Do you think they are lost cause or will they bloom to their full potential?
