Bud optimization, trimming, mid to late flowering, autoflower

[Jamesgrowsbuds]

Hi everyone I posted for the first time a few weeks ago just sending out another post as an update with some follow-up questions to see if anyone can maybe give me some information first time grower I have two Jack errors to the right and two OG Kush to the left. They should be in mid to late flowering now. I haven't seen any trichome ripening as of yet but I'm on the lookout. I performed a roughly 20 to 25% defoliation about 10 days ago, to free up some nutrient and sunlight for bud development. And things look like they're coming along great, but I might benefit from taking off some more fan sugar Sun leaves to allow the buds to mature even greater in these final weeks.

Can anyone provide any advice regarding a final haircut on these sexy ladies towards mid to late flowering?

They are on a weekly fert regimen and I'm increasing waterings due to flowering demand. Just babysitting until I can see a 70 30 ratio on the trichomes.

Assuming since you didn't say/don't appear to have airflow, humidity, or light penetration issues due to density...you shouldn't need to keep removing any leaves. Other folks on here that are running outdoors with fertilizers may chime in with clarification questions on your environment and what you're using to give you some different feedback though.

I think they look great, I would leave them alone to finish up.
