I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

Is it time for light defoliation?
These plants are all 4 almost 5 weeks since seed. Top leaves on the large one at the back are shadowing those beneath it. A couple leaves at the bottom are extremely limp due to not receiving enough light. Is it time for a light defoliation? How do I distinguish which leaves?

My growing experience is mainly with autoflowers and when it comes to breeders estimated flowering time for photo plants, when does it begin? If a breeder estimates 8 weeks, is that from 12/12 flip or from the appearance of flowers?

When I flip to 12/12 should I feed veg nutes, bloom nutes or a mixture of both, if both what ratio, I was thinking 1st week 70/30 veg/bloom and 2nd week 30/70 veg/bloom?

Why does this site use g/w/plant vs gram/watt. It makes measuring multiple plants under a light look brutal. For example: G/w/p = 0.1 G/w = 0.864 Or the calculation should be (gram total÷plant total) ÷ (watt÷plant total)

Defoliate further or stop?
I am in 3rd week of flower. I did defoliation right before switch to flower and at the end of second week. That was 5 days ago. I feel I want to defoliate more, to expose more lower buds to light, but I afraid it will be contra productive. What do you think?

Knowing when and how to defoliate is causing me headache. Please have a look at week 15 pics and tell me how much more defoliation do I need. I'm worried about stunting the growth of the buds.There is too much of a shaded undergrowth.

I plan on moving these girls into flower next week. Up to this punt I have not fed any nutrients. The girls look great. When I move them to flower should I just keep feeding water into there are signs of deficiency or start giving light nutrients like one a week?

Fast Buds recommend early doses of Cal Mag for the Zkittelz Auto and a heavier feeding regime - how early do we add Cal Mag and what strength nutes do we start at and go up to? Thank you in advance for any help or advice :)
