Hi! Girls are looking healthy! I usually do my last heavy defoliation on week 4. Then from there on I will only remove leaves that are blocking prime bud sites to help fill in those lower bud sites. ✌️

Read a good book over the weekend "Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields" by Read Spear. (read some bad ones too that I won't mention). Any recommendations for good books on cannabis? Looking forward to your answers. Thanks!

Dutch bucket, hempy bucket, bato bucket, etc etc... Conventional medium is perlite/vermiculate. Recent trend has seen some growers go coco above the dutch hole, and perlite below. For those that have tried both, what is best? And why?

Defoliation. Yes or No?
Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if the discoloration I got going on is just the end of the harvest or is it something I need to take care of? Also would you say I'm fine to start flushing this weekend? Or would you wait?

Supposed to be an autoflower strain. This is week 8 and I don't know if I see any signs of flowering or not. I just switched to flower nutes anyway for one watering to see if I can jump start it. I have a photo seedling in the room so don't want to switch to 12/12 yet.

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?
Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

I'm considering topping her today, and was wondering if it's a good time for it. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to wait a bit longer? She seems to be quite healthy and growing noticeably every day. I'm in no rush at all, just hoping for best results as a first grow. Thanks!

Should I leave the white veg light on during flowering? The only reason I’m considering it is because I’ve read that the plant still absorbs small amounts of white/green light. I want to maximize the amount of light I have on it but not if it’s a waste of time or detrimental

Strip Her Down?
There’s very little peripheral light penetration as she is wall to wall solid inside this box, and now only 4” to the light. Being the first day of week 8, how far would you defoliate this plant?

Pruning lower growth
I read that in maximizing yield you trim off the lowest two set of branches. I am growing my plant horizontally to accumulate more budsites without the use of topping until I have the desired amount of branches. Is it safe to remove the lower two sets of branches?
