Hi @LockDownGrow I usually defoliate the automatic plants slowly at the beginning of the fifth week, some leaves from the main branch and some brunches at the bottom of the plant, after a week at the beginning of the sixth week I do a little more defoliation on larger leaves that are shading but I only do this second defoliation if it is really necessary. the secret of defoliation in auto plants is to do it slowly and gradually so that the plant does not stress. good luck mate 👍

i dont really see the point of defoliating autos at all, but if you want you can remove the bottom layer of leafs, much more than that and it might impact bud spots. The way the plants are now, which is small in size, i would say dont defoliate at all. sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for ! Hope this helps ! 🚀

I'm getting ready to plastic the basement windows and there is only smells in the basement but if your in my driveway you can definitely catch a wiff if the wind blows the right way.

Pre-Harvest Signs?What traits do you look for before harvest? I am keeping an eye on pistil colors, once I see about 75% of pistils flushed to orange I will start to pay more attention to trichomes. I am wanting to get the best medicinal effects from the plant, full terpene profiles, etc.
