Light penetration is good enough outdoor, so there less point doing it than indoor where light penetration quickly decrease.

I looking to put a 20L dehumidifier into my tent (1.2x1.2x2.0) Is it best outside or inside of the tent? It also has an ioniser function. Is it best to turn this on or leave it off also. I'm having humidity issues. It's not overly high 65% but I would prefer it to be 50/55%

At what point should I cease Foliar Feeding or applying water via spray bottle. I am currently in week nine ad the description of this strain says it should be ready for harvest between weeks 8-10. Approximately 20% of the pistils have turned orange as of today.

Single plant leaf finger has turned purple/almost black! I know plants turn purple from cold but it's not that cold, just really rainy. What's happening? Any other pro tips for finishing her off these final two weeks would be great too! About to flush. Anything else!? Thank you!

Defoliat smaller branch on autoflower
My auto us in first week of flowering, and outgrowing my box. Did some defoliation yesterday, seemed to stop the rapid stretch a bit. Also there is a stem on the bottom, i think won't carry a bud, should I snip it off, give the other budsights a better chance?

Defoliar o no defoliar
Tengo 2 automáticas a las que he aplicado LST, y ahora hay muchas hojas juntas tapándose las unas a las otras. Cultivo en exterior con luz artificial adicional (17h de luz en total) y es la semana 7 . Creo que es mejor no defoliar las auto, pero viendo esto ya no estoy seguro.

Do you switch to flower nutes as SOON as you see white pistils appear or should you give it another week or so?

Flowering bush recommendation
My plant is rather bushy. I don’t want issues during the flowering. I am hesitant to trim down unless it shows signs of issues. What are the recommendations? Branch is falling off should I trim it?

Schwazzing sativas? Yes or No?
Does it makes sense to defoliate (schwazzing) sativas before switching to 12/12? I have done it in former grows (indicas and hybrids) successfull but i dont have expirience with 100% sativa strains. Thanks for every advice! :D
