Bloom defol. How much and where??
Hi guys, as you can see, bloom has cometh! I have defoliated the lower parts of the plants, now I'm wondering how much more to take off?? I cant tell where the ideal spot of keeping leaves is. I am taking off inner fan leaves as much as I can, but am wondering, how much is safe.

Defoliate or not (autoflower)
Should I defoliate some of my larger fan leaves on this autoflower? If so, at what point during growth should I do that? This is my first grow so another question is if it’s even worth me defoliating.

Early flower stage advise
So the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up

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...

3 sets of fan leaves per node on newly topped plants.
One cola on each of the 2 recently topped grape punch plants in super soil have started growing 3 fan leaves per node. I believe that's known as a whorled flower?? Is this just an uncommon mutation, or something to be concerned about?

Defoliate the center or leave her alone?
My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Topping very bushy plants with low node distance
This plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal? I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way. Happy growing!

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

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.
