Any idea about how to handle the crowding at top? Should I try to trim back or just leave it alone? Seems like the leaves are burning, but keeping flowers off the light.

Hi @BeefWellingtons! I guess you're not able to increase the light distance? You could try to defoliate, by removing a lot of leaves, then use LST to prevent buds from touching the light. Or you can try to supercrop, by pinching and "breaking" down the main stems. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

At this stage the only thing that will work is supercroping. I've done it with great results during the whole flowering stage. To do it, put the stem (that is still green and not woody) between your thumb and forefinger and press firmly until you hear / feel a crunch, this will leave the skin intact, after this the branch will bendiciones close to 90°, tip tie down the branch or ir will retake its old position real quick in a couple of days

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

How much defoliation should I do?This gnome automatics “forge” is really starting to grow. I think I should get more airflow going in there but am not sure how to do it right. Is there some sort of rule of thumb about what to leave and how much? Thanks in advance for your help, it always proves invaluable.

Too late to defoliate?Should i try to defoliate these two auto girls a little more, or is it too late into flowering? If so, which leaves are safe to remove? They are approximately 45 days from sprout and have been speeding through their fases, so it's been hard to compare to others schedules

Defoliation during early flowering I wonder whether trimming the lower (big) leaves would be beneficial? Because they’re all shaded now but maybe they participate in the transpiration process at night?

She took a LONG time to get big enough to flip to flower. I grow in fabric pots and organic soil. I think I over watered in the beginning, but could I have also defoliated too much, too early? How do I know how much water and when? How much defoliation is too much?
