So shes in day 36 of flowering and feels like she hasn't bulked at all but is still stretching. I'm worried she's going to stay all airy. A few colas have started stacking but are still growing 5-7mm per day in height. I'm not feeding any nitrogen at all as there is nitrogen reserves in the soil. Feeding budstorm by flairform 0-12-11 with each watering.

I've been doing regular light foliage trims throughout the whole flowering period, couple leaves here and there so she doesn't get much stress.

This is only the second time I've grown before and my ADHD has kinda gone wild 😂

Does it need any more defoliating to help redistribute energy to the buds?

Is it going to stretch for much longer? The canopy is fairly even height.
Is there a way to estimate yield?

Plant looks great bro 👊🏼 Outdoor, in a greenhouse may be a bit less dense......depending on light strength and time of year. How many hours of darkness do they get!?
Yield is really tough to nail down....too many factors.....perhaps 5-6 ounces once it bulks up a bit 😉

Fingers crossed she fills out. Hoping to get at least 6oz to last me a few months. She's getting a solid 11 years of direct sunlight with no shading. I've been contemplating chopping down one of the big poplars on the other side of the creek to give her an extra hour of light per day. Am I just being impatient? She's gonna get bigger buds hey?

Just as @HowardC has mentioned, I too trim the bottom growth in order for the plant to put its energy to producing larger colas up top 😉

The final push on your outdoor plants is in mother nature's hands.
Last year early 4 weeks of overcast and rain pretty much did in corn for about 30 miles in any direction. Most farms at the 4th of July did not have knee high corn they had replanted soybeans.
I tilled my tomatoes under in late June.
I had strawberry flowers in September.
Just some messed up weather.....

Weather permitting 😉

You could always hang a 200 watt led above the plant on cloudy days, rain days, shitty weather corrector 👊🏼
