Light leakage for one day should not hurt you. She should be fine. Good luck!

Hello ! You don't grow outdoor with a public light that is screwing your night time so I'm sure that a little leak will be like a drop in the sea : no consequences ! Hope it will help you 😁👍

Hi @SMELLYBUDZ! If it's only 1 night then they're going to be fine. If more than 1 night, this may stress them out and even make them re-veg if the light is powerful enough. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

As you are still in 12/12 there is no problem. 12 hours darkness is the minimum of darkness your girls need if they have longer it is just like a " long Nap" for them..... Everything is nice Happy growing

At around 2 weeks of age, can I remove the big leaves yet? It blocks alot, (i feel), and 2 of the bottom first ones got yellow spots in them, otherwise good green color and growth. Should I try to bend the very top more? The stem seems pretty stiff already, first early lst.

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

Defoliation needed?Do I need to get rid of these small leaves and stems beneath the canopy for better yield? [Auto flower : flowering stage week 3] Or... to what extent can an auto be pruned at this stage? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

defoliate during flowering I defoliated the girls a week before I flipped. Now they are on their first week 12/12 cycle. The bushyness has bounced back right up and it's touching each other. should I leave it till flowering day 21 or cut back now, but I'm worry it will stunt any growth?

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? Outdo High, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.
