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. ✌️

Remove lower branches
Would it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp

I understand that by placing less clay balls my roots will reach the reservoir quicker, but then wouldn't sunlight seep through the remaining exposed net pot?

I’m just curious if anyone thinks she’s starting to flower yet or if she’s still preflowering? Today is the first day of week 7 and I would of thought she’d be around the same as the Zkittlez I’ve got going. Any input would be really helpful.

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?
What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Removing popcorns
There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

I’m curious about the color of my SODK. The whole plant is basically yellow (see pics, started around week 6). It doesn’t look unhealthy though and the buds are looking great. Just wondering did I do something wrong or is it simply genetics?

I did some major defoliation on my monsterprofit today( aprox 100 fan-leaves removed). I was wondering if i have to hold back on water now or add some extra. She gets a nettle/banana/fig thea once in every 3 watering times.
