First time defoliating heavily at day 21. A bit nervous. Is this too much?

Awesome job 👌😁 I'd let it recover for 2 weeks and then start pulling off anything that isn't a sugar leaf. I'm all for more Sun and less trimming at harvest. Check out my diaries to see how far you can go before yield is impacted.

Late Defoliating or No?Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks allWeek 10

Week eight of my outdoor Gorilla Zkittlez grow and plants look far from finished yet all trichomes look milky white and the odd amber on some sugar leaves. I feel that it’s still too early to harvest yet I’m not sure.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically.
I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. ThanksWeek 9

I was debating whether or not to prune lower branches on the glueberry that are impossible to get light to and are tiny sad little things. Would it be too late 30 days into flower to effect any change in the buds, or would it give me slightly better yield?Week 11
