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

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?
I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering. Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?
First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

How much to trim my bush?
I've created a fairly flat canopy but I have all this new growth a few nodes down from the top that just is not getting any light. I am not sure if I should leave it since its fairly close to the top or remove it.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

Defoliation in the first flower week,
Can I still defoliate in the first week? I would like to defoliate today I am on day 2 flower. As it is quite full, I would like to defoliate. What are your experiences / can I do this with a clear conscience?

Remove leaves from auto?
Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

I’m about to go into week 3 flower in 3 days. My plants it seems have been less focused on stretch for the past couple days, more on growing the colas I would say. would start week 3 be a good time to do heavy defolia/lollypop?

I need a little help from an "old rabbit"..... nothing wild.
7/8 day of bloom. I would like to know when to defoliate in bloom? Not at all at first? 2nd week? Every week? It gets very tight all around. So I would like to remove everything from the bottom that doesn't get light. Thanks in advance.

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?
What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Mainlining or any other Tips, recommendations ?
I'm a rookie, first time trying mainlining. Currently in second week of flowering. Although from side it looks chaotic, the canopy seems uniform? I recently did a good trim to chop off lower nodes which were under fan leave shade. Any tips I should do ? Increase fert dosage ?

Does exposing lower bud sites that were previously completely shaded through defoliation make them grow bigger? Providing of course the plants are healthy. Thanks!
