High loganchan, I would reommend to defoliate the lowest 30% buds from your plant. Later on you can always still defoliate the buds that barely develop and stay to small. We want those top buds to get fat and juicy! Happy Growing! 😋

If one of my girls has already got 85% cloudy trichomes and 15% amber trichomes, what will the percentage be in 14 days? The other girl is 9 days behind so I plan on harvesting both the girls in 14 days.

I see that some of the bud sites that are lower down, aren't flowering as quickly as the ones near the top of the plant. Should I be defoliating some of these bud sites as they won't be as big, or should I leave them? I've seen some people say this and I'm a bit confused.

My plants are starting to preflower and my light is set for 18/6, could a light leak during dark period be causing this? The only other thing I've done to them is top and lst.
