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

Defoliate?
Unsure as to whether to defoliate this around or not. Can anyone with experience say if this worked for you or not please. My goal is quality>quantity but i'm happy to achieve both if possible ;)

According to the trichromes I'm guessing there's more than 2 weeks remaining before harvest. I'm looking for all cloudy with some amber trichromes and the majority of them are still clear with slightly cloudy. Anyone able to give me a more accurate timeline? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3?

I am still a few weeks from harvest but wondering what experience anyone has with 48 hrs of darkness before harvesting. My last grow, I ended it with 24 hrs of darkness but want opinions on whether the extra 24 hrs is worth it.

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation question
I'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

Greetings! Can anyone offer some more positive ID on this strain, to us it fits the Runtz structure in particular leaf and bud shape. Her complete story is in the diary and she remains a bit of a partial mystery. Thanks hope you guys can ID her

Should I defoliate?
Do you think i should defoliate? There are really a lot of leaves for being 21 days old, and 3-4 of them are the size of a man's hand. She did not stretch too much till now, so there's a huge amount of leaves in a small space. I made LST these last 2 days, not going to top. Thx

Harvest questions.
Hello, I wanted to know if these look like they are ready for harvest or should I wait. The say it's ready when the pistels are milky white and amber but some of them aren't fully developed. Do I wait till those develop or when the majority are mature? Thanks in advance! 8wks old

Defoliate or not (autoflower)
Should I defoliate some of my larger fan leaves on this autoflower? If so, at what point during growth should I do that? This is my first grow so another question is if it’s even worth me defoliating.

Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain
