7 to 10 days. But I know people that waited longer with success. 2 weeks would be max I would wait.

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?
When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

When is a good time to start pruning?
When is a good time to start pruning? She is about 10 inches tall and is short and VERY bushy. Has several leaves hidden from light and so I am thinking of pruning today. However I don't want to do it too soon. So far my pruning has been VERY minimal. Thoughts?

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?
Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.

Testing out my grow box and it’s running at temps from 85-89 degrees. Will this hurt the plants in a hydro setup? I haven’t checked water temps yet. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have the Supercloset Superbox setup with SuperPonics 8.

Defoliation/grownet?
Day 37 I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off. I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites. I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it? The two in one pot are taking up a lot of room now

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.

Now a good time to defoliate?
Been fighting with myself to defoliate or not. This is my first grow, so I’d almost like to try it naturally to have something to show improvement from on later grows, but wow is it getting dense under there.
