Final defoliation and training
When do you do the final defoliation? Is preflower acceptable as an emergency measure they are all trying to get through the net, this is an eye opener iv never tried scrog before but I'm for sure enjoying it.

Harvest or wait longer? See microscope images on week 12 and bud pics. 10% amber under the microscope. To me, just looking at the bud with my naked eye, I'd say wait a little longer as all the hairs have not all curled in yet. Also, please comment in the comment section too.

Is it just me? Or is AN PH Perfect Line of Grow, Micro, Bloom really a bad choice for Autoflowering Hydro Grow.. I've had to supplement Cal/Mag and manage PH because of that. They should release an Auto Specific Nute.

Harvest is just days away and i am still unsure what to do. Please give me your best advise on cutting and drying. Should i cut and hang the whole plant or individual branches? Trim fan leaves immediately or wait? How long do i hang it to dry? What about the popcorn and shake?

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

Hi everyone, anyone have any suggestions on when to put this little beauty into flower? I’ve never grown such a small plant and I’m not going for quantity here just quality. On one hand I’m thinking I could flower right now at 8 weeks but I also do not have experience mainlining.
