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

Lollipopping
The plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

I've chopped the plants, big one is whole plant and small one in branches. Is my 6" roof fan (seen week one) on "low" (1/3) enough ventilation if they're both hanging in the tent? I've turned off my circulation fan, should I put it on low underneath the buds? Humidity ~55

How much / often should I be defoliating?
Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?
I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

Why does this site use g/w/plant vs gram/watt. It makes measuring multiple plants under a light look brutal. For example: G/w/p = 0.1 G/w = 0.864 Or the calculation should be (gram total÷plant total) ÷ (watt÷plant total) That way if you enter 1 or 9 the outcome is the same

Whats up everybody! I'm interested in your favorite automatic indoor watering system. I want something that can do top watering drain-to-waste in not too long of a time span - no slow continuous drips (no blumat etc). Any ideas welcome, prefer DIY! Even water distribution is key

I've heard topping autos is ill-advised. Any advice on the topic? Should i just let this girl go on naturally or should i top her? I want to milk her for the best yield possible.
