Hey bro !!!! Yeah it can use some defoliation but I wouldn’t over due it to the fact it’s in flower and I personally defoliate mines 2weeks before flowering so they can recover and 2 weeks after the initial 12/12 Depending on the strain you should start to see bud production after the stretch so at least 2 weeks

everything looking great Man keep up the good work!!!!

I stripped a bubba completely naked yesterday at about 14 days, don't be scared. Clean up a lot of the lowers up to 60-70% of the underneath + a heavy defoliation and all those remaining sites will be getting all the rays from all the angles.

The rh is too low it is at 20% I used to use humidifier but now I stop since I flip to flower
Do I have mildew problem ?
Temp always below 85 I keep ac on and light on at night

did you just recently bring it down to 20%? in flowering your RH should be 40% - 50% but the fact you said you're having an issue with mildew and it looking like overwatering/humidity stress, would mean that it's been much higher.

It’s normal where I’m from it’s 20% always I use humidifier to take it up to 40 or 50% now with buds forming I read somewhere it could cause budrot or I don’t know what but I understand that humidifier it’s not good for buds
I’m having issue I can’t post more than 1 pic either the website fault or my network is bad

Mildew is like cotton or spider web on leaves I don’t have that maybe it is some salts on leaves because I was foliage feed before I afraid to spray now I don’t want water on bud sites

yes, too high of humidity in flower will cause bud rot and a multitude of other problems.

you should drop your temps to 65-80°F (18-26°C) with no more than a 10° difference at night. try to get your rh to about 40% and hope for the best. you should start to see a difference after a few days.
