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"

My apartment's humidity is 40% - harvested buds completely dried out in under 24 hours. Should I place my next harvest directly into jars to avoid the mistake I made in my first grow? I would appreciate any suggestions (I cannot control the ambient humidity). Thanks!Week 17

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

Is it normal to have different flowering times on occasion within the same strain? I believe yes as I have one that just grew one tall branch. So it focused on flowering sooner as it expended less energy on vegetation. She will be ready to harvest 3-4 weeks sooner than her sis.Week 10

Cutting or not cuttingHi 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

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!
