I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

Defoliate before harverst
Does make any difference when you cut completely all leaves during the last week ? I read somewhere that you can avoid excess nutrients taste in your buds but I'm not sure.. Thank you in advance my fellow growers !

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flower
I am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

I'm worried my gals are a little too small for the age, 17 days and only 3 inches. Is this normal? Also, should I start nutes when they're that small? Thanks for the help and the great platform!

I started noticing drooping on one plant about 4 days ago. I know it’s not overwatering, but thought it might be under watering, but still no change. The leaves appear to be a very dark olive color. Watered with a little kelp as I thought maybe heat stress. Thoughts? Help?

What are people's rules regarding watering and fertilizers? Not sure if i'm underwatering/overwatering. What would you normally expect a plant to drink each week durings the different stages of its life?

Defoliation and are they doing well?
Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

When should I start feeding with nutrients? I am using 1/3 soil (John innes no.1) 1/3 coir and 1/3 perlite. The soil says it has feed for 4 weeks, but I'm only using a 1/3 in my mix. Don't want to overload with nutrients when young? Maybe commencing week 3?
