A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?

Defoliating or continuing lst only?Should I defoliate before flower?she's really bushy down low and has some huge fan leaves which are blocking out a bit of the light to bud sites. Should I just continue to lst her and wait until the lower bud sites grow out more or should I defoliate a bit before flowering?

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community. I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6? After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.

"Survey Says!". Wrapping this grow up and germinating my new crop the same day as these girls get cut down (gotta keep it legal😉). My question is Blue cookies, fem or NL fem. If you've grown them please weigh in!!! I'm torn on what to pick, for reals.

how’s my girls looking? I didn’t get the smaller one planted until 2 weeks after the first one popped. She is a little slow to the game and I imagine she’ll turn out alright.

I’m curious about the color of my SODK. The whole plant is basically yellow (see pics, started around week 6). It doesn’t look unhealthy though and the buds are looking great. Just wondering did I do something wrong or is it simply genetics?
