Autoflower defoliation?

nhcowboystarted grow question 5y ago

If you look at my latest pics like day 48, does anyone think I should do some fair amount of defoliation? I have picked some leaves that block buds but am torn whether to keep her bushy as is or if it would benefit at all from some decent amount of defoliation.

Autoflowers don't usually do well with defoliation. I personally wouldn't. I try to tuck as much as possible.

trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Is it ok to align the plants the way I did it? I just thought they could fill more space and be more comfortable that way. What do you think? Or is it better to put them all in the same direction?

I am running a 65 litre buppleponic & dwc system with flora series nutrients. My question is, at what stage should I consider flushing the plant to reduce nutrient uptake before harvest? I have read anything from 1 week to 3 days. Thanks in advance.
