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. ✌️

Should I defoliate more? I’ve just taken off about 10 of the bigger fan leaves off the main stem over the course of a week or so. If so, strategy?

When to start defoliating
Defoliating plants? When do you guys generally start stripping back leaves? And are they worth keeping at vegging stage? Just for context, very light LST, so no lollipoping etc. Cheers

I currently have the secondary CFLs (2x65w) sort of below the canopy (see pictures) in an attempt to get more out of the shorter branches. Would I be better off moving them up towards the top or will the lower portion have some use for the light?

would like to know why the stem of my plants go up very quickly without getting fat. I respected the temperature, the humidity, the ph, the soil, the distance of the lamps (40cm) etcetc. It is due to a lack or excesses of something or it is normal? I posted more photos to see

What is an organic way of rapidly developing roots of seedling? Also, what is the difference in nutrient schedule for autos versus photos using GH Hydroponics Flora Trio? Is the Lucas formula going to work for autos?

Are these flowers good to harvest? The Auto Dark Purple Kush plants are on time, maybe a little late. They've flushed for one day so far and will give them two more days. Keeping them in the dark 24/7 with the final flush at 45% humidity. Thanks for the help?

Defoliation for better ventilation?
Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there. And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Light Defoliation
Looking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation". What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!
