Looks like your lighting is too strong for this stage. As far as defoliation goes I would lst it then selective defoliate. Autos are not like photoperiod plants when it comes to their advanced speed of growth.

When should I make the harvest (according to the colour of the trichomes) if I want to get the maximum of CBD? Some people say THC is degraded in CBD (late harvest), some say it is the opposite (early harvest ). I'm not interested in CBN. I would like to get the maximum of CBD. Thank you !!

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?

Is she too bushy/ leafy I was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now. 1. How much to take off 2. Pics of what she should look like after. Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

What do you think the issue is? I’m using 900w Viparspectar full spectrum (vege only at this stage) LED lights at over 100cm (36 inches). There is a key nutrient that must be used from day 1 if you want your plants to handle 18 hours of direct intense light. What is it?
