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

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no
Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

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.

would you call it flower phase, look at the recent zoomed picture. Also, the weak and sick blueberry, i think it was pH levels. Do you agree?

Anyone have any insight on defoiling fan leaves/leaves during bloom? Is it recommended at a certain week or should I avoid altogether? Much thanks!

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.

My calendar says these should be done on 9/10/2019 (in 4 days). Do they look like they're ready to harvest, or will they need more than 4 days? It may help to add that I am color blind, so seeing the amber colors of the trichomes is very difficult for me. Any help would be great!

Flowering Defoliation Question
Hey All, I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?
