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.

This is the second time some bird is damaging my plant. Some pigeon has uprooted the seedling. I noticed it hours later in the night. Root was almost intact, it was just uprooted and left there. I have replanted her now. Will she recover?? How to deal with birds in outdoor grow?

I have read that during the 2 last weeks before flushing, the grower would drop the humidity gradually from 45 to 25percent to force the plant on creating resigns to protect its flowers from the dryness of the climate. What do you guys think, should it be worth trying?!

Come to my aid
Yooyoo guys could this be light stress ? Also should I consider a second defoliation? I reckon it could help the shorter plants get more light What do you guys think ? I’ve added a pic of the light Happy growing

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!

Hi everyone hope you are doing well. Should I just trim some of the fan leaves so the nodes can get proper light or should I leave the leaves as is? I have noticed that I am working a bit rough with her and wondered if it would be kinder to just remove some of the extra foliage.

When should I defoliate photos in indoor 2x4x6 on day 47
This is my first grow in a 2x4x6. I got carried away and packed it out. im on day 47 for everything. 3 autos, 6 photos. I defoliated autos right before flowering. The question I have is should I let the photos grow a little more before defoliating and or topping?

Harvest or wait longer? See microscope images on week 12 and bud pics. 10% amber under the microscope. To me, just looking at the bud with my naked eye, I'd say wait a little longer as all the hairs have not all curled in yet. Also, please comment in the comment section too.

Do you have any watering tips? No way to find out what is the best way. Do I initially water with less water but more often or soak the whole pot? Someone who has experience with airpots?

Apart from saving money on the electric bill or as a method of mitigating higher temperatures. what good reason is there to not grow autoflowering varieties on a 24 hour light cycle? With a limited time to get them finished up, why not be growing them on overdrive the whole time?
