Hello! You shouldnt be doing that, will most likely stunt her since she grows by catching sun Light. Better do some lst!

Defoliation regularity help
Just wondering how often I should be doing defoliation? At the moment I’m kind of snipping off a few leaves n new growth as I see them each day. Is that too frequent? Should I wait n do a good amount at once maybe every week?

Defoliation?
To defoliate or not? On my previous grows I have defoliate the day before flipping and again at 22 days into flower. This time around I defoliate 2 weeks before flipping. Should I defoliate again at 21 days or leave it? Is 21 days the optimal time?

Ok so I'm new. On disability so flat broke. What can I feed her? I changed to a big fat 400w bulb. After giving the roots a good chance to grow on an 18/6 schedule, I've topped the 6th node. Pruned the first 2 nodes off...were weak. I gave her 2 days to recover now 24 light

Wondering when to add nutrients in coco? I heard after 3rd set of leaves. Some people say after 1st set. I use reverse osmosis with a mineralization filter although I have no idea what minerals are in there. My EC meter did not work when I received it.

Lower buds still have white pistils
I'm close to harvest but my lower buds are still showing white pistils. Do I wait until they are ready as well? Any tips on trying to get them to mature? I was thinking of some defoliation but am hesitant as a first time and that it's an auto...

Defoliation needed?
Do I need to get rid of these small leaves and stems beneath the canopy for better yield? [Auto flower : flowering stage week 3] Or... to what extent can an auto be pruned at this stage? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

ScrOG / Lollipopping / Defoliation
I'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation. I would love to get some feedback! - What I should bear in mind? - Does my setup look suitable? - When should I start with what? - Any good resources?
