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

Is it common to have a pheno every once and a while that totally defies the strain defining characteristics? A 'Throw Back', I guess?

When and how do I cut fan leaves
Can I cut some of the big fan leaves off that are blocking light to the bud sights ?? And if so what’s the best way to cut without harming the plant?? And is there a wrong way to LST ??

Should I have trimmed the Bush?
More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Is she too bushy/ leafy
I was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now. 1. How much to take off 2. Pics of what she should look like after. Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Trimming
It it wise to trim these? They are autos and heard they don’t bounce back quick enough. They do seem to be producing a lot of veg. And they are now about 5 days into flower.

When to switch to 12/12? The plants are about 10 to 15 cm (4-6inch) I know they gonna explode when going into flowering, but I have not a lot of space. The lights can go up for another 35 cm (14inch). Thinking about waiting when they are 20 cm (7.8inch). What do you think?

Started preflowering this week. Pretty sure I'm getting greater than 14 hours of light per day. It's a long Summer before light gets below that, like end of July - beginning of August. Will they hold off on flowering until then or does this mean they are going to flower early?

This is my first dutch bucket run and my reservoir pH is rising quite a bit daily. I pH down to 5.8 to 6.0 and within 24hrs it's back up to 6.6 6.7. Rinse and repeat. Is this normal or is something out of whack. I know pH will drift a little in a hydro system but this much?

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?
How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏
