I probably should implement some sort of strategy. Everyday when I check on the plants, I pluck a few lower leaves that are in the way of bud sites or don't get any leaves, but nothing serious...what do you think?Do you plan on defoliating?
I would open her up a lot now rather then late flower. Not only for light but for air too. Healthy and beautiful plants. She needs a trim though.I probably should implement some sort of strategy.

Thank you for the advice! I am adding my update for the week today where I mention I've been pulling a few leaves every feeding, but per your advice, I'm going to do a deliberate defoliation this week and really open them up. How much do you think is too much?I would open her up a lot now rather then late flower. Not only for light but for air too. Healthy and beautiful plants. She needs a trim though.
Looking great in there!Week 11
From what I have seen in other grows, these plants are progressing super fast and are showing impressive development for only their 3rd week of flower.
The leaves are beginning to have a frosty, sugar appearance on them already, and I can see the buds growing noticeably every day.
Days 77-79
I started this week by plucking a lot of the larger fan leaves off the plants. This was recommended to me by a few different people, and the goal was to improve air flow, increase light to areas besides the top of the canopy, and put the plant's energy towards producing flowers rather than leaves.
I think this worked out really well, as you will see in the bud development in the second half of this week. Here is a closer look at each of the two plants in the first part of the week, though.
Cotton Candy Eleven Roses
For reference, I've been feeding nutrients two days a week and plain water two days a week, essentially every other day I am giving the plants something.
The feeding schedule I'm following has definitely gotten heavier, and this upcoming week, it will increase in PPM again.
Days 80-83
At the start of this week, the buds still sort of resembles little tufts with short hairs. But, towards the end of the week, they were noticeably more developed, with longer hairs.
I think the substantial increase is due to the defoliation I did earlier in the week.
Going forward, I'll probably do a good defoliation every week, or at the very least, every other week.
Here's a peek at the two plants up close.
You can see that these buds have gotten bigger and more prominent, and they are really starting to look like they are in flower.
You can't really see it, but to the naked eye up close, there is a good amount of sugar on some of the top leaves of the Cotton Candy plant.
I am more excited than ever for the coming weeks, as the bud development I'm seeing is making this feel more and more real to me!
Thanks! Someone in another forum actually recommended the same thing, and brought up some good points, so that is a change I am making going forward!Looking great in there!
Only thing I can offer is to keep that fan blowing 24/7 right till the end.
i use a 500 wattt on 70% covert x and my r4x8 tent wont get above 72 without a heaterHow yall reach 85 with 150W LED. I need heater with 150 HPS in small box , temps are colder than room temp with fan blowing
