if your tent is at least 180cm(5,9') in height there no point in topping an autoflower. Happy growing

Removing popcorns
There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

What do you guys reckon how big they'd get - height, yield etc. - if I flipped them to 12/12 now at exactly 3 weeks? I'm of half a mind to give them another 2 or so, but at the same time I'm keen to see what they can do in 9 weeks total - I'd leave them topped once with 2 sides.

Too bushy?
Should I attempt any more defoliation at this point? Each plant individually doesn’t have a crazy amount of leaves, but it’s pretty crowded in there, any suggestions?

Don't plan on topping. Someone want to talk me into it? Just weigh out some pros and cons; and I'll pick the most informative and relevant answer, and maybe even change my mind. 😄👍

Any guesses on how long to harvest. I'm starting to see some gold trichomes glistening in the sunlight, but definitely less than 1%. A good chunch of the calyxes from the side branches are swelling and pistils changing orange, main cola still mostly white pistils.

Defoliation early flower?
Is this too much foliage? I feel like removing fan leaves during the stretching period is bad but there is barely any light getting through the plant at this point:s
