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.

LST or Scrog in a 60x60
Just searching to find out the difference between LST or scrog in a 60x60 tent. Any advantages of one way over the other? Or other techniques better? Amount of plants for optimal and fast growth/yield?

Flowering bush recommendation
My plant is rather bushy. I don’t want issues during the flowering. I am hesitant to trim down unless it shows signs of issues. What are the recommendations? Branch is falling off should I trim it?

Defoliating during flowering
I'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?

Can anyone spot (if possible yet) by this last pictures if it’s a male or female? Looks like a “drop” shaped pre flower but I don’t know if it is a pre flower or new sprout with leafs. I’m having a lot of ramifications on this one and saw this happening on other areas.

Serious problem with small buds.
This is my diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/198497-white-critical-express-super-silver-haze-grow-journal-by-italy-grower the pistils are turning orange and the buds are small, maybe not enough room? Too much PK? Is it really a serious problem? What can I do? Some advice?

Auto Newb defoliation question
These girls are throwing out an insane number of branches, and I'm running out of room to train them and open her up. Is it common practice, similar to main-lining, to trim out the lower larf-y bud sites and branches, or do you leave everything?

My growing experience is mainly with autoflowers and when it comes to breeders estimated flowering time for photo plants, when does it begin? If a breeder estimates 8 weeks, is that from 12/12 flip or from the appearance of flowers?
