They look fine but in the future try to defoliate a couple days apart so you wonโt stress the plant as much happy growing looks good ๐๐

Added a picture of a bud that I pulled off, appeared burnt and dry. After taking it down the top of this bud was dry enough to grind and smoke. Had anyone had this before? The rest of the plant is still wet and plant like? See pictures....

LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

Should I defoliate?
Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. Itโs day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. Iโve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks ๐

Come to my aid
Yooyoo guys could this be light stress ? Also should I consider a second defoliation? I reckon it could help the shorter plants get more light What do you guys think ? Iโve added a pic of the light Happy growing
