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.

Can I defoliate?
She's in week 8 and I am wondering if I can heavily defoliate her because she's full of leaves but I also don't want to slow down flowering process since I don't have much time before I flush her and harvest..any suggestion? Thank you and take a look to the diary for other pics:)

Found a small spider web in the corner of my grow room. Should I pull it down or leave it up? I don't have a pest problem at all and this spider just seems to have already been in my place. Extra pest protection im thinking. Can anybody think of downsides to leaving it up?

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

Hi my question is, does it look like Ahsoka has a nitrogen deficiency or is this normal for flower? It looks like she is yellowing from the newest growth down. Her middle growth is still a darker green. I have read that they use almost no nitrogen during flower. Any help is great

How much to trim my bush?
I've created a fairly flat canopy but I have all this new growth a few nodes down from the top that just is not getting any light. I am not sure if I should leave it since its fairly close to the top or remove it.

When I checked the run off from this weeks watering - PH was 7.6 and TDS was reading 1975ppm. I had added Dolomite Lime to the soil as some had recommended. Could this cause the high PH levels? Any suggestions on how to bring it down? Worried about nutrient lockout. Thanks!

Jumping the gun a bit, but um, what is the average ratio of wet bud weight to dry bud weight? My only other grow's harvest ended up overdried, so I have no valid reference. Thanks my friends!
