I wouldn’t remove anything from her. Maybe just the lowest node. She’s tiny and needs a stronger light.

Tops spacing
My plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?

LST Defo = This?
It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions? Thanks

When do you stop LSTing autos? I have some white pistils and have read that is when you should stop, do you agree? I uploaded one pic to this week of my grow.

I have been watering with peroxide as it breaks down into o2 in the soil, thinking this plus cloth grow bags will keep the roots breathing good. Peroxide also dissolves nutrient salts. Not sure if that is good or bad? Does anyone have experience or insight using peroxide?

Can anyone give some tips on defoliation? Is it bad to do it now that I've just started flower? Was thinking of just hitting the lower area of the canopy and leaves covering bud sites?

Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain

Defoliation in the first flower week,
Can I still defoliate in the first week? I would like to defoliate today I am on day 2 flower. As it is quite full, I would like to defoliate. What are your experiences / can I do this with a clear conscience?

I would like to Over-Veg one of my girls into a MONSTER. I require advice on how best to grow her big with thick stalks. Should I use a deep pot or a wide pot (child's pool) and is there any recommendations as to which nutrients will help her grow into a massive bitch?

I think like my plant is beginning to flower...? I have not used any nutes yet but I have Fox Farms Trio and am wondering should I start the bloom nutes or use veg nutes on my next water? When do I switch to flower nutes if I start with veg nutes? I water every ~4 days...

??When should I do the last defoliation ??
I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.
