week 1 of flower today. the girls have numerous 17-22 nice bud sites each. should i sacrifice the smaller buds that are coming in and just focus on the bigger buds on top? i feel like i’m remove to much already, they’re so thick and lush. i am looking for the best yield for personal consumption. what do i do???

dont defoliate until after 3/4 weeks AFTER flowering its usually best to cut 3-5 days before flip, and not until full stretch and flowering is in session but in flowering i don't like to trim at all, i let the plant use those leaves as energy i used to cut the leaves off and i swear it makes ya harvest a lot smaller they look amazing tho omg they gonna be corkas
DONT keep stressing the plant going into flip mode by trimming cutting, honestly spread the colas or tie again and let grow up but the stress will bother the plants maybe hermie them
you can trim everyday in veg all u want if u want they will recover and make new sites but flowering is a touchy topic everyone feels diff

Excellent job.

The Girls had a good growth spurt overnight. Did some re-tying and a good bit of LST and I didn't remove a leaf... lol. It was hard not to though! . I'm now using General Hydro Maxi Bloom. Their Dosage says 1.5 teaspoon per gallon 1 to 2 times a week. with water only in between. I've been watering/feeding each plant a gallon at each feeding. every other day. Plants are now 8 days into Flower and 70 days old today. Lights are 16-18" from plant. Is it fixin to happen???

I have not Big Sir. Honestly, i haven’t run it on any water since the beginning. They have (imo) continued to preformed flawlessly. Kinda like it ain’t broke so dont fix it lazy way out I suppose. Do you guys remove your plants from the SOG during flower? I’m 3 weeks into flower. A ton of buds and vegetation. I’ve read so much the past few months and everyone does it different. I’d like to do a bit of trimming. Starting to get some frosting also!
Wouldn't do a lot of trimming in flower if you don't have to.
What genetics did you use? They will usually tell you what estimated yield is. Usually, it will be given per square foot for indoor purposes, and another yield number for outside. Of course they assume correct conditions, but are a range....so you could get an idea there.
Similarly, folks here may have grown the same plant genetics as you and will respond. Yield can be extremely variable. If they have been way healthy and lush, you are heading towards higher yields, impediments, whether at the beginning, middle or end, will cut back on that yield. I usually tell people to raise thrivers, not survivors for top yield.
Yours appear to be thriving rather well!

Bubba all 4 are ILGM Gelato
8 week veg 19 days today into flower
Thanks. Im proud for my first grow. I have some issues insect issues currently. Plants are not showing any signs of stress. Yet…
ILGM will have that info on their site. It will be a range, or "up to" a certain amount. I rarely hit the high number, but getting close. What insect problem?

Four weeks of Flower up-date…
This past week I performed some defoliation. It has grown back in already.
lights are 12/12. The girls Haven’t gotten much taller. Buds are bulking up. overall my opinion as a first timer the plants all look terrific.
Its been hot and rainy everyday. Ive played hell with trying to keep the humidity below 75 and the temps below 80. I do have a dehumidifier on the way.
My watering/nute schedule has changed also. Feeding maxibloom per directions.
letting soil dry 2.5 days between Water and feedings.
I still have the damn gnat issue but the girls have not shown any stress at any point. Yet.
