Defoliation?
Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

Defoliation in flower
I did a defoliation before flip to flower, but im at the end of week 2 and did an aggressive lollipop over the past 3 days because I wasnt seeing good growth below the very top of the plants, and im wondering if this is too much stress going into week 3 flower Thanks!

For Organic growers out there... What are your go to plant nutrients, do you use worms, do you take your soil after a grow cycle and mix in worm castings, how do you amend your soil, how do you assure you get the biggest best harvest, deficiency problems? TIPS PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!

Trimming and Training
I already topped.Should I be trying to tie down branches? or cutting off the huge fan leaves. The nodes are super close together. I am looking for quality over quantity.

Defoliation in Mid / latee Flower
Hey how much should / can I defoliate. The tent is quite full and I want to allow as much light as possible to the lower areas ? Barneys Glookies Flower Week 3 (21 Days) Currently I defoliate selectively every 2-3 days, so only single leaves maybe 10-20 total of 3 plants

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

Is it ok to cut off these dead leaves? I've never defoliated before and I'm not sure where I should be cutting from.

Best way to tell when harvest ready. 2 were planted at same time but experience different major stresses and stunting. They seem to be growing at different sched as flowering is around week behind the other. Does early stress affect auto flower " clock "

Pruning lowest nodes?
Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage? They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites. Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

For the folks that use Oregon's only nutrients, i know they say ph should be 6.4 for calcium to be best absorbed but does that still apply in coco substrates? I been slowly swinging my ph up and down over a few waterings to try to get the best range of absorption.

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 ;)

I feel like the fan in my tent isn't working, when I plug it there is a vibration meaning it turns on but the fan isn't actually moving and no air circulating, what do you think I should do?

Humidity in the tent - is it a problem? Outside the tent in the garage it's 7° C (45° F) and 70% RH Inside the tent (with 800 W heating), it's nice 25° C, but 20% RH I can bump it up with wet towels/spray Any other growers with similar circumstances / advice?

Another auto question. Once you commit to a light schedule will an auto be "shocked" should you go from maybe 24/0 to 20/4 or 18/6? Or vice versa.

Should I harvest this plant in six days, or wait two more weeks? I’m away next week and I think I harvested my Polar Express a bit too early and don’t want to do that again. Now at Day 90. Outdoor grow with cool nights means it takes longer than Fast Buds says until harvest.
