Me too lol ahhhhg
Hey BabyGirl! 
I fell a few pages behind, as usual, but I've caught up.
Liv is beastly! And you're getting all kinds of good advice on her treatment. I'd just like to weigh in on the defoliation issue.
I'm not going to recommend whether to defol or not. It really is a matter of personal preference, IMO. But I thought a pic of what "could be" might aid you in your decision-making.
So I went to the archives and dug up a pic of one of my bucket grows (an Alaskan Purple auto) and the shape she was in near the end. As you can see, I did remove much of the bottom stuff but seemed to try and leave most of the top stuff intact.
At least that's what I think I did. But this was from 2019 an it's all so foggy to me now!
Anyhow, I believe pics can sometimes be good guides and I hope this one helps you!

Thank you @Grand Daddy Black ! Yeah, I think that’s similar to what I’m considering aiming for!Hey BabyGirl!

And I *think* I’ve come up with a humidity mitigation strategy: warmer temps drop humidity whereas cooler temps increase it. So, instead of the driver for the @Mars Hydro FC-3000 being outside the tent, I’ll put the driver on the light inside the tent. Same thing with the pump for the air stones - it will go inside the tent (though it will have to be above the current bucket height in case it dies so I don’t get a back-flow issue into the pump). In the meantime, I’ll order the dehumidifier next week (has to wait for payday). And it THAT doesn't work, I have a small space heater (with auto cut off in case of power surge or tip-over) I can put into that room with the door shut (dont want to put that in the tent because I need to keep the res temps on the cooler side and I don’t want hot air blowing directly on my

Ok - may not look like much (1st pic is before, 2nd & 3rd pics are after), but it actually came out to about 1/2 of a plastic grocery bag’s woth of leaves gone from all around the under side of her

Her center stalk at the base is freaking HUGE - like two thumbs thick - AT LEAST!
Good job, BabyGirl. I bet she'll love it! 
That's an incredible plant babygirl!

Thanks Stone … I cant wait to see what kind of buds she ends up making for me!
I live in Queensland, low humidity is never going to be a workable option most days. Rainy heat filled days and my humidity jumps to the 90’s. Winter is better humidity wise. I think you just need to do your best with what you’ve got. Humidity only becomes a real issue for me from the middle to end of flower. Like I said 62% is good for me, well not good, but it’s the best I can do given my climate. I too am learning not to get twisted over numbers. I go by how my plants look.
I asked you this in another thread but you didn’t answer, how did that monstercrop clone go? I’ve often wondered. Oh and happy new year
i appreciate that info Trala!!
Me too!! Thank you!! It's not just meee!!
Omg she's great!! Thank you for asking and for your help!! I'm sorry I missed that somehow!!!I asked you this in another thread but you didn’t answer, how did that monstercrop clone go? I’ve often wondered. Oh and happy new year

They need so much time and patience don’t they? I do find come training they need a bit of extra help. I’ve just flipped my Peyote Critical little monster and my Tangerine Dream little monster will be next.
Really well done babe.

I’m just overly cautious I guess since she’s an auto. Better safe than sorry has always been my motto; not living on the edge!OMG Good job ladybird! Really good job!

What are your thoughts ok how long I veg her for? And what are you thinking of doing with her training wise?
I’ve never grown an auto.
Absolutely. I need a lot of hand holding myself. I really wish I could advise and help, but I got nothin!
Loll
I find I need to veg longer than a seed grow or a normal clone grow. I have started counting day 1 of growth from the day I see active signs of life. Tbh that on average takes 30 days. So I count day 1 from the first new leaf grown, then go 60-70 days. My climate and lights are different to you tho.Thank you sooo much! Sooo much patience but luckily I have plenty of it and time well, I have just enough!
I’m also all about the aesthetics. Yield is secondary to me. My plants have to look beautiful and healthy or I feel it in my heart. Mental I know Lollll. So I train to enhance the beauty of the plant. Probs all wrong, but that’s how I roll. I like nice things.
You got this anyway, you know plants.
