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

How far do you defoliate your mainlined autos?A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?

Wondering when to add nutrients in coco? I heard after 3rd set of leaves. Some people say after 1st set. I use reverse osmosis with a mineralization filter although I have no idea what minerals are in there. My EC meter did not work when I received it.

This is my first dutch bucket run and my reservoir pH is rising quite a bit daily. I pH down to 5.8 to 6.0 and within 24hrs it's back up to 6.6 6.7. Rinse and repeat. Is this normal or is something out of whack. I know pH will drift a little in a hydro system but this much?

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.

Switch to flowering I did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?

Removing big fan leaves Last night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?
