Growdiaries needs a hall of fame for stuff like this.. This is awesome in a sense because it's a good learning experience for others and more so for you I'm sure... Don't do this.

Lol, you left almost nothing, the plant will spend a week or so refoliating itself, so flowering will be delayed

Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?
These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?

When would you suggest, I introduce Canna PK 13/14? I have started to notice white pistols, that I assume is a sign that it's in pre-flower (refer to videos above). What is the optimal PH, PPM, Humidity and Temp at this stage? From the videos, do you see any deficiency?

I keep checking the trichomes and the body is clear and many heads are amber. I thought there supposed to go from clear to cloudy then amber, since I have amber heads is the thc degrading or is it improving because the body is still clear? Should I harvest or wait?

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?
Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.

Should I top plants outdoors? I'd imagine the sun would be powerful enough to penetrate an uneven canopy, however I don't have unlimited growspace, Depending on how tall these girls get they could very easily grow through the literal ceiling. Any thoughts?

Too early for defoliation/topping?
Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early? On the Jack Herrer, (3) is it too small for topping?

When should I stop defoiling my plant?
Hey everyone! I'm heading into the 3rd week of flower, is it too late to defoil one more time?? Or do I just let it ride? It seems the plant didn't mind the first 2 week defoil but I dont want to over stress it.
