Regarding defoliation, how many times you can do it on autos?
It’s helpful in order to get the light in the middle of the plant and increase the buds dimensions ?
Or just create stress ti the plant ?
Autoflowers don't have enough time to recover from high stress training so typically it's advised to avoid training them. I however did grow some Gorilla Glue autos a few years back and defoliated them early flower and 3 weeks into flower and they turned out pretty thick under mars-hydro TSW-2000 lights.

Only with led 26 Celsius. With also hps 30..
HPS you never want to exceed 26 C / 79 F in bloom. If you smell the plants when walking into the grow thats your terpenes vaporizing off the buds. My buddies dad lets his grow room stay 75 night 82 day with HPS and his weed is literally inert of taste or smell because of that.. Not to mention he wet trims the weed and just dries it doesn't cure.. You walk into his grow and even with 4 huge carbon scrubbers going you can just smell the terpenes in the air.

thank you for the advise!
I’m trying with a new growing and I will try to not exceed the 26 Celsius. I’ve just brought a new higher growing box where I just using the 200w lumatek ats led light at 75% power for 18/6 hours per day.
anyways I’ve not trashed the plants as someone suggest to do since where missing just some weeks and now the plants looks like this. I think to harvest soon

Herb is right they’ll not recover best to just start over count your losses. Shit happens, just keep pushing on my friend.

???
if u just look at the pics above ur post and compare to the ones on page 1 u definitely see how they did improve
also to me the plants recovered pretty well. considering that are autos...
some better, others worst like the amnesia but generally they recovered.
the amnesia was the one hit harder
