Defoliate?
Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?
I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!

Should I start trimming the plants? How should I trim them? Where? What should I do with the cut clones? I'll have a lot. what should I do with them to ensure the highest number of awesome nuggs? I started some pruning when they were too young which is why they look a bit wierd

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?

Too late to train?
Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

Should I defoliate, or let them grow? I see some buds that dont get enough light. I have 3 options. 1: let them grow 2: defoliate a little bit, just cut some leafs 3: hard defoliation/schwazzing. What would you do?

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?
Hi All, As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral. Thoughts?
