If it's an auto, you should fim above the 4th node, pinching the 5th. If it's not an auto, you can do it whenever you want

With your plant in its current condition, I would not FIM. You want it to be healthy before considering stressing the plant. A weak plant is prone to more diseases and problems.

I would say they are ready for their first fim. If they recover quickly enough you may even get to do it one more time before they start to flower

To defoliate or not to defoliate.
So, this is day 1 of flowering and my question is: Who thinks I should defoliate those four babies? If so, when should I do it? Note: I lollipopped their on February 1. See pictures of both moments. Cheers to all growers out there, Peac

What is your opinion on defoliation autoflowers? Yes or No? If yes, when is the best time to start and when to do the final defoliation (leave only the colas). Thx for your advice.

Pruning to minimize aphids during flower, yes or no?
I think I have aphids on one of my plants, and lots of vegetative growth so I’m thinking of doing a little pruning.Is this a good idea during flower? Any tips on HOW I should prune? I was generally scared of pruning throughout the grow, I don’t know what to leave and what to clip

New grower - advice on what to do with this growth below the canopy.
What can I do with this growth under the canopy? I've removed a few leaves to create a canopy and increase airflow (i also have limited space), and still have some growth on the branches. Dont want them turning into colas. Can I remove or best to leave on for now?

Defoliation in late flower?
Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.
