I notice over the past three weeks that temperatures, air; substrate and solution, have gone down considerably. Mid 60's from early 70's. I'm a fan of warm substrate & solution as I think cold really halts growth, veg or flower. Air temp can get cold to tell the plant Winter-Is_Coming, but I won't now sacrifice warm substrate & solution. I don't think you have defoliated too much, although I find when I defoliate it stresses plants and they take some days to recover, these days I add on to the projected harvest date. Example, three defoliations taking ~4 days to recover = 12 days to add on to projected harvest date.

Hi there! What a crowd! They may cannibalize themselves if they're too close, I'd recommend to defoliate a little more so your bud sites can get the maximum air + light. Also, I'm not convinced about the 11H-light schedule, I guess you want to speed up the process and I can understand, I may try this technique during the last week of flowering, but your buds are not fully developed, and they still need decent amount of energy. Let them do their thing, help them with light defoliation, as much air+light+love as you can, and you'll be rewarded soon! Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

Fattening of the buds happens in the last 2 weeks of flowering, which takes at least 8 to 10 weeks, you still have a while to go, don't worry.
