Hi All, when is it best to defoliate? During veg is what it seems or can you also do during bloom?

never but its best used most in early to mid flowering when she pumps out her last set of fans if they are covering bud sites you can remove them to let light get to the bud but I would only do so if you couldn't move the leaf or tuck it somewhere out the way every healthy fan you remove from her is taking away energy she could be using to grow faster and better :)

When to start defoliating Can I defoliate nodes one and two now? Her grow rate has been really slow so I thought I could get rid of one and two so she focuses growth on height.

To top again? Or not to top again? That is the question. I'm working in a 2x4x5 tent so my height is limited. Not sure if I should flip now, or top the two mains again and flip at the end of this week? First photo grow so this is just one of many. Thanks fellow growers!

I've read that Ghost Train Haze takes 10 weeks to flower, I have only ever grown 8 week flowering plants in the past. I am at 3 weeks of flower at the moment and my plants are only just showing 1or 2 hairs here and there. At what week will I need to add Pk?

Is it just me? Or is AN PH Perfect Line of Grow, Micro, Bloom really a bad choice for Autoflowering Hydro Grow.. I've had to supplement Cal/Mag and manage PH because of that. They should release an Auto Specific Nute.
