Yes you should defoliate whatever the fan leafs are blocking the light straight on to those buds that would encourage bigger and better flower . hope this information help have a happy grow

To support the weight of my colas in the near future, I was planning on using a non static ribbon, but if there are ANY other better methods to reduce knocking the plants around please feel free to share. Thanks!

My buds don't appear to have many pistils as they get fatter, shouldn't there be more visible pistils at this point?

When you go to LST , is it easier to do this when the plant is more thirsty as the branches have more give? Also, do our work it until it “half breaks” or just get it to bend without it breaking inside? Does this make sense?

Defoliation autoflowers? YES or NO?
What is your opinion on defoliation autoflowers? Yes or No? If yes, when is the best time to start and when to do the final defoliation (leave only the colas). Thx for your advice.

Now at 19 days to harvest our best looking CP has a brown section. No webbing so I don't think it's mites. Should I cut out that section? What do you think is the problem?

I live in a terraced house facing East so my front windows get the am sunshine and my garden and rear windows get the pm. When she is old enough I will move her into the greenhouse and she will get about 4/5 hours of direct sunlight. Is this sufficient for an autoflower?

I’m stuck between giving Forum Stomper one more feed or starting the flush, any advice? Most trichomes are milky, some are amber on leaves.

Over the next several weeks...What should I expect to see, regarding the fan and sugar leaves. Do the nutes in the leaves get consumed for flower production? I don't want to freak out over any change in appearance. I plan on only using pH'd water till harvest. Thanks 4 the advice

Flowering time was 8 weeks. We are at 11 weeks. Keep watering just water or let her go into dryer conditions before harvest? How much longer should I wait? I’ll snap a better pic but if anyone has any suggestions or opinions, please send em. 🙏

I missed a few days of watering so the plants look a little droopy, but given that this is my first grow, how is the general health of the plants? How is the flowering going so far?
