I do so. " when I think she's almost ready, when any bullshit you can commit can no longer do damage, start to pluck away fan and sugar leaves " I much prefer to pluck 2/3 leaves a day continuously.

Autoflower defoliation question
Did some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

I'm worried my gals are a little too small for the age, 17 days and only 3 inches. Is this normal? Also, should I start nutes when they're that small? Thanks for the help and the great platform!

My seedling has two stems, each with 3 cotyledons. I have so many questions, please answer them all 🙏 1 - Have you seen this or heard of this before? 2 - Should I try to separate them? 3 - Should I kill one? If so - kill short fat and stumpy or tall and skinny?

This is the second time some bird is damaging my plant. Some pigeon has uprooted the seedling. I noticed it hours later in the night. Root was almost intact, it was just uprooted and left there. I have replanted her now. Will she recover?? How to deal with birds in outdoor grow?

Defoliation and lollipop
Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?

Should I defoliate during flower?
Should I defoliate during flower? I have two Green Crack plants growing right now. I am in early flower stage and one of the plant has some dense foliage under the SCROG canopy that is hurting light penetration and zapping energy I want the plant to use for growing dense buds.
