IMO I would not. If you feel you have to remove bigger ones from the bottom that aren't getting beneficial light that's ok, or that cover bud sites. If you take too many leaves autos dont have time to recover before they switch over. So the more leaves the better. Hope this helps

Besides just keeping the growth tips in the light, taking any more would hurt IMO. However the more growth tips in light the more colas so its kind of an art I am still trying to get "right" but have been right enough.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

According to the trichromes I'm guessing there's more than 2 weeks remaining before harvest. I'm looking for all cloudy with some amber trichromes and the majority of them are still clear with slightly cloudy. Anyone able to give me a more accurate timeline? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3?

So I was hoping to move these guys outside soon into 5 gallon pots in my garden. I know marijuana can be pretty hardy, but I was looking at the extended forecast and it's still dipping down into the mid-high 40's F at night. What temp range can I safely move them outside?

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right? I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

Just a few weeks from harvest and have some friends telling me to harvest and dry with the roots attached. Can't find any info on this. Anybody have experience with drying the whole plant roots included? Their idea is to wash the soil off the roots then hang them upside.

I'm in my 11th week and have stopped adding nutrients last week. I'm planning on harvesting at the end of this week, I'm following the advice given two weeks ago. Does this seem like a good timeline to follow? I'm looking for a nice clean high, not too heavy effect. Thanks
