I would cut the lower portions out and defoliation on any leaves covering bud site unless it is super thick. Then thin out a bit. I don't cut too much out because they are the plants source of energy. Good luck

If youāre in flower, I would wait for two weeks before defoliating.

although it's a great harvest if you compare the 2 same plants they are totally different in color of buds. Grown in same condition with same lights and feeding? Separated them in Curing because maybe they also will have different smoke and taste and effect? any advice?

Should I remove the side shoots from the first node? Although strong I cannot see them do much, I am not trimming any of the fan leaves as I prefer to let it grow naturally as possible but just wondering about these lowest branches draining more energy from the plant then giving

Smaller stems under the net during Flowering (Defoliation and ScrOG)
I put a ScrOG net and now I am wondering if I should delete everything under the net or leave also the smaller leaves and stems for the flowering. You can see in my diary how the plants are. I'm afraid that leaving also smaller stems under the net would decrease my harvest

It's my first time doing a manifold. I topped twice as per the Nebula method. These plants are built so low... Should I be defoliating the lower stuff more aggressively? How should I proceed at this point from a pruning/defoliating perspective?

To prune or not to prune?
I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wondering if someone could take a look at my plant. I think it was a bit hot yesterday, not sure if it is heat stress. Not sure if it is Nitrogen Toxicity either because of the dark leaves. Maybe this is normal? Can someone shed some light for me? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! š
