I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

Cutting or not cutting
Hi everyone, I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them? Thank you

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage
These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

This is my first DWC cannabis grow and I'm not really sure how long to flush her for. Next week my plan is to change the water and PH it to 5.5 and obviously add no nutrients. I have read that with DWC you don't need to flush as long so I was thinking of waiting 1 full week?

Did I take too much?
Did I take too may leaves off? If so will it be okay? Before and after pictures for reference.

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience

Defoliating Autos
Hi I am wondering what you experienced auto growers would do. I am starting to have stretch and a few preflowers showing. Would you defoliate, if so to what extent. Bottom 10”, upper fans, etc. On photos I would, but idk with autos and dont want to stunt them too much. Thanks

Wondering when everyone starts lst on their autos? Debating to train or let her do her thing. I was think between day 21 and 28 to start manipulating the growth a little bit, super careful not to stress her at all.

To prune or not to prune?
I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
