As long as there is sufficient airflow in your space, that leaf density looks perfectly fine to me. I'd let her do her thing and keep an eye on her if you're worried about mold or other airflow related issues.

during pre-flowering, before the stretching of my plant, there were preflowers already those preflowers turned into flowers during first weeks of flowering, but last week my plant grew new flowers on the internodes and those above also make new white pistils, it this normal?

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?
(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Too much foliage? Not too sure.
Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

Auto defoliation
Should I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.

A 5gal and 3gal pots will fit in a 2x2x5 tent with no problem as long as you train the plants correctly (scrog, lst,). Is that correct? Or this is an overkill? Mahalo!

Defoliation.
7 days ago (In week 5 I did the defoliation and turned on 12/12). Now it has become very leafy. All the strains have been tolerating the topping and LST just fine, haven't even noticed it. Question is can I do another heavy defoliation now?

Defoliation Level
Should I get every bud site opened or will a strong upper canopy pump some plump where light is less intense further down? In other words, where’s the sweet spot w/ my defol level? I have upper sites open, but thinking another defol my help race some other shoots to the top?

What should I do after a pre-harvest defoliation? Dark period or harvest next day or 2?
Pre harvest defoliation. Should I put my Zkittlez Two in a 48 hour dark period after I do the pre harvest defoliation? I'll be wet trimming this one, so I figure it's easier to start a little early and then use the 48 hours to recover before harvest. Any suggestions? Yay or nay?

Rapid Aging Syndrome!
My plant has developed 80% orange/brown pistils after only 4 weeks of flower. I know pollination can cause this, although I haven't found any male flowers. Could hot temperature/humidity, or nutrients cause this, and is there chance she'll still fatten up in the coming weeks?
