No, don't defoliate. It is the leaves that make the energy that makes the flowers grow. Flowers do not grow on there own, they are the resiult of the energy that is made from the leaves. Less leaves = less buds.

The GH label states that the nutrient solition should be changed weekly. That seems excessive. How can one tell that it's time to change the solution or just add to it?

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

Is this ready? This is the main stalk....it's only half an inch higher than the rest of the buds. Can I snip the top bud off or do I just leave it be and give it another week or two for the lower buds to fill out?
