You only want to defoliate whats absolutely necessary. Leaves that cover bud site and inner leaves for air flow. Week 5 should be the last defoliation.

Yes, along as you don’t go too mad bro. Just take away anything that is blocking the main flowering sites from getting direct light. Good luck bro 💪

When would you suggest, I introduce Canna PK 13/14? I have started to notice white pistols, that I assume is a sign that it's in pre-flower (refer to videos above). What is the optimal PH, PPM, Humidity and Temp at this stage? From the videos, do you see any deficiency?

What would be the most efficient light for a single plant indoor grow? My hope is to have one plant sustained through winter months and outdoor grow each summer. I've been to a number of sites and advice varies, so I thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks in advance.

Light Defoliation
Looking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation". What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!
