My plan was not to defoliate the autos, as I've read much debate on this. I'm curious if it's in my best interest to take a couple of these bottom guys off that are touching the pot for a bit better air flow. Thoughts?

Defoliation 6 weeks in flower?
My plant, named A), is 6 weeks into flower and is looking great, but I'm worried about the density of foliage in regard to bud mold. Should I defoliate? I have been taking the odd fan leaf here and there, just don't know how far I should take it this late.

I’m a new grower and this one is now 18 days into vegetation and I haven’t added any nutrients yet. I’m wondering when the seedling will have used up most of the nutrients in the soil and I should start supplementing with commercial nutrients.

I have a question. I have a 2 by 4 tent 60" high. I have a higrow 2000 watt led. The light is as high as possible in the tent for my plants. 2 plants are 3 1/2" tall 38 1/2" away from the light now. As they grow that will reduce. I don't want to burn. Take them out of the tent?

Prune or Not to Prune?
Should i prune the big fan leaves to expose the bud sites and encourage lateral growth? They are at the end of 4 weeks old but lateral branches are developing quick.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.
Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

I have germinated some auto seeds and started sitting them outside but I want to move them inside to a grow tent and grow them there. Is there a problem with starting plants outside then moving them under led lighting for the veg/bloom? Anything you need to watch out for?

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?
After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST. Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)

Would a few days of rain stunt its growth a lot? Would that effect yield? The rain isn't the problem as I will bring it under cover but then it won't get much sun

Do my plants look good to flip to flower in 1 week? Should I do anything else before flipping like more LST or defoliation? Any insight is helpful, thank you.

Hi! I have two plants in same tent. One will be done 5-6 days before the other one. Someone mentioned shoebox... what would you say is the best way to dry the first plant if it has to be inside the tent while other plant is finishing up? Humidity/Temp only possible in tent for me
