When doing defoliation, are you removing these small "buds" (see pictures) that are not getting enough light?

I certainly do - and have done just today! They're not going to amount to even a half-way decent popcorn bud so why waste the plant's energy on them? Snip, snip!!
Good luck!

I remove them. I call them "suckers" because the growth is the same as a tomato plant's "suckers"

I’ve read that you shouldn’t use nutrients right away because it may cause nutrient toxicity. However my nutrient instructions start on week 1, so I assume it’s ok.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to when I should apply nutrients to the water? I’m growing in a 3gal pot.Week 1

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.Week 10

Defoliation/LST for Northern Lights AutoHello! I am struggling a bit with deformation on my NL auto. Please see pics from week 7. This is after defoliation and it looks like fan leaves will overshadow cola sites again in a few days. Should I defoliate more or leave it? Currently managing with LST but leaves are getting bunched.

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%Week 3

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏
