If I remove anything, it is while the girls are in transition, to slow their stretch some. Cheers

When should I stop defoiling my plant?
Hey everyone! I'm heading into the 3rd week of flower, is it too late to defoil one more time?? Or do I just let it ride? It seems the plant didn't mind the first 2 week defoil but I dont want to over stress it.

I prepped my Stepwell Super Soil (500ml/G of soil) with water and mixed before planting. I'm unsure how wet the bottom of the bucket is 30 days later. My plant is using 1L of water per day. How could I check the soils wetness? Would watering until run off help growth rate?

Defoliate or not ?
Do I need to defoliate her harder ? I Think some of the buds are blocking the sun out of others, I am afraid the buds won't be fat. I am also afraid if I defoliate wrongly she could lose a lot of photosynthesis. What do you guys think ? I should try to lst her down a lot more

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?
After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST. Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)

I was wondering if I should defoliation this plant or not. I am growing an auto in the same tent and have another couple weeks before it’s ready to harvest so this plant will be in veg mode for awhile yet. Should I just let this grow and ScrOG it or do some defoliation. Thanks

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!
