One of my plants is kinda short but bushy on top, so i was wondering if i should maybe remove some leaves so that the lower parts of the plant will get more light ? Plant in question is 4 weeks old now and around 12cm in height.

A couple of buds look like the tops aren’t really “compacting” and are stretching. Would lowering lights help, are the buds foxtailing? Is this bad? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

I tried Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator. 30L reservoir full of tap water (130ppm) and, in total, 120ml for both Connoisseur A+B, and 60ml for each of the 3 additives. I did exactly what they suggested and measured EC after mixing up well. Is it normal to have this crazy EC?

So I messed up my calender. Im only on week 7 not 8. But that means i started my flush on week 6 instead of 7, meaning week 8 ill be done my flush. Im getting a fair amount of yellowing. Do i give them quarter nutes next water or just flush to 8 and harvest? Trichomes look decent

Should I defoliate at this stage?
Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it. Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healty

Trimming in flower?
Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.

Cutting or not cutting
Hi everyone, I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them? Thank you

I thought all the signs of deficiences had to be rootbound based on touch/time in veg/etc... however they don't seem to be recovering with my light bloom feeding. increase? decrease? I just flushed the two in concern and I will update photos tonight .

4AM is on day 63-getting her 2nd flush. She has some amber trichomes prodominately on her leaves but not so much on the actual buds. Would it be safe to harvest on day 65-67, or should I let her continue maturing?

When to start defoliate?
When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)
