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.

Should I trim some of this out, not much below the canopy besides some fan leaves. Just thinking theres not enough space between the heads. Was thinking of starting flower next week.

I'm now 1st wk pre/flower. What pruning should I consider in next 3-4 weeks? I have super dense/ dark, crowded areas on top & sunniest sides, some squares have 5+ colas, most have less. Inner is thinned, should I defoliate a bit or prune redundant top shoots & if so when? thx!

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?

Autoflower defoliation 3rd week
I am planning to remove the big leave (shown in day 21 - big leave picture pink-highlighted) to give more light to the little branch below it (marked in yellow). This is the end of the 3rd week and it is an autoflower, what do you think? It's left plant in pic day 21 - morning

Do you recommend defoliation on any main fan leaves that are hurting you light penetration and simply cannot be trained in a different place specifically on auto flowers ?

LST during flower?
LST during flower? I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now. I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

As seen in one of my pics on week 16, you can see a dried brown spot on one of my leaves. It's not on a ton of leaves but it's in a few different spots. What could be causing this? If it's a PH issue I don't know because I'm doing no-till and haven't monitored the PH.

Seem to be having overwatering issues - moving forward I’ll definitely wait a little longer before adding more water, but anything that I can do at this point to try and improve things? Or is it just a wait it out scenario? Any insight would be appreciated.
