At least 3, maybe longer.
Defoliation will reduce your plants capacity to produce energy, resulting in slower growth.
Hope this helps,......

Low yield on auto flowersI know I impacted my yield due to stunting the autos but it did look like a lot of bud even after drying. But my buds are not dense and only got 37 grams from one purple kush. What can I do to get more dense buds. I still have 5 other plants in flower. I got white ash.Week 9

I think they are ripe
Day 51 (60-70 according to the breeder)
I'll give them another 3-4 days and see if they get a bit fatter. otherwise they don't look bad.
I hope I don't have much CBD conversion I want a high feeling and not a stoned feeling

When and how to flush ? Top buds ready ? lower buds still immature ? (hydro)I'm a bit confused because all of my ladies have new calyxes and pistils after having had previously many issues. The buds exposed to the light look nearly ready but the trichs down under are not white enough. When to flush ? Can my plants stand an extended flush and still ripe?4y ago

How to achieve compact nugsA few things I learnt from my last grow is that I had very airy buds, my thought process was because the humidity was too high ranging from 70+ so I purchased a dehumidifier and kept my humidity at 45/50, is there any advice to achieve the compact dense buds ?Week 7

Trichomes: ready to harvest?Looking for trichs opinions: these pictures are from yesterday, Day 66. Could be a good time for harvest the purple lemonade? The other one, Gelato Auto, is rapidly showing ambers and makes me think to harvest her too. But of course I don't want to harvest too soon!Week 10
