I would clean up the bottom. Healthy looking plant. Like the pot also! Best of luck the rest of the way!

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?
Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Comment un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ?
Bonjour, mes plantes sont très touffus, j'aimerai réaliser un meilleurs lst et une défoliation afin de permettre à chaque feuilles d'avoir de la lumière. Avez-vous des conseils sur un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ? Je ne sais pas quoi couper ou comment écarté les tiges. Merci

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

Should I defoliate my 7-week old autoflower
It’s very bushy and some bud sites are covered with leaves. I’ve been tucking those leaves to improve light coverage but I’m not sure if this is enough.

Auto(not)flowering
One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Remove more leaves or not
Should I defoliate more and remove small buds, or is it better not to stress the plant during flowering? Also, why do the two plants on the right look so different? I didn’t do anything differently

Is of sometimes normaal that the 2 leaves you have on your baby plant are standing upwards? Like a closed flower, if you know what I mean? 2 are normal but 1 is doing that...

Need help diagnosing her issue. Not sure if it's a burn (haven't had an issues with light burn so not thinking that really, and haven't been too aggressive with her nutes). Or maybe potassium deficiency? I see a few orange spots so thinking maybe calcium too?
