I'm having troubles keep the RH up and the temperature down in my tent. Because of the temp the airpump is working almost non stop and evauates the humidity. Does anyone have any tips? Preferably low cost solutions

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?
All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light. I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done? Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily? Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community. I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6? After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.

How much / often should I be defoliating?
Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

I don't have a good magnifier to check the pistils. Can you tell by the curling of them if it is ready to harvest?

Thick canopy
1st time grower here in week 3 of northern lights auto the canopy is really thick and not very tall. I've seen others strip the leaves but they do that later in flower. Should I be worried or am I fine? What should I do?

Strip Her Down?
There’s very little peripheral light penetration as she is wall to wall solid inside this box, and now only 4” to the light. Being the first day of week 8, how far would you defoliate this plant?
