When is the best time to switch 12/12 lighting? I’m at 39 days, almost 18in tall inside a 63in tent. I’m thinking now is the time.

Looks like you’re ready to flip to 12/12 now. But you could keep them in veg longer if you want larger plants. At this point it’s up to you. Looking very nice btw. Well done so far. 👍

More training now? or leave her longer?
I've attached image from 7 days after defoliation and more LST and what she grew to today. Quite bushy, should I defoliate/tuck again so more light gets to lower branches? only do some more lst? more lst and defoliation? or leave her for now and let her grow? 35 days from seed

This is my first attempt at growing the Tangerine Dream Auto, how much time left on these? Some of the trics. Are becoming cloudy on the top of the larger buds. Feeding nutrients every other watering and they seem to be healthy.

Hello brothers and sisters... Plant this baby girl with her tap root facing down? I mean, I'm sure down is the way to go, but I get a question so might as well make sure... I'm putting her in Promix. I want to make her life as Kushy as possible. 😂

Defoliate?
Unsure as to whether to defoliate this around or not. Can anyone with experience say if this worked for you or not please. My goal is quality>quantity but i'm happy to achieve both if possible ;)

What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.

As you can see above I've got two Blue Dream Clones I'm Monster Cropping. My question is when should I top them? They are currently reveging( I'm not sure if this is a transitional phase, or the mark of true reveg). Should I wait for their first fan leaves to form? Or go for it?

Off shoots stay or go away?
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

Remove or not new branches
Hi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary). Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure? My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips
I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.
