I remove all the leaves that are blocking bud sites from direct light. Moving the leaf around to see where it casts a shadow can help in questionable areas.

My apartment's humidity is 40% - harvested buds completely dried out in under 24 hours. Should I place my next harvest directly into jars to avoid the mistake I made in my first grow? I would appreciate any suggestions (I cannot control the ambient humidity). Thanks!

What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.

More defoliation?
More defoliation? I’ve done some pretty serious (to me anyhow) defoliation to this beautiful lady and would like a more experienced eye to let me know if I should stop? Thanks to lots of great advice from here she’s already looking much better.

Can any one recommend a good exhaust fan the one I have was cheap but on last legs and starting to make To much noise time for an upgrade. I’m looking for high air flow minimal noise I guess this is everyone’s dream fan but would like one as quiet as possible.

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.
