You can defoliate without much worry up until the third week of flower.. after that i'd stop until your about to harvest.. Just make sure you have a reason is it covering a bud site and you can't tuck it down and away? then cut it! Happy growing!

Yes of course. Especially in veg state. Just stay away from the leaves near the bud sites.

Ph fluctuation 6 -》 4.2 in 12 hours
My ph is droping when lights are off from 6 to 4.2 in a hydroponic system (nft - gt100). Plants look really good i think. Ec1.1-1.3 @ flower day 10. Has somebody experience with ph fluctuation or maybe a solution to hold it constant? Thanks a lot 👊😃

Nightly temps too low?
Should I be worried about the nightly low temps? Last night was the coldest it's gotten at 45° in the tent, while most other nights the temps have had lows of around 55°.

Will a rooted clone with adequate foliage, but pruned terminal and auxiliary shoots ever grow?
I took a cutting in late flower and removed all flowering growth, and as a result seemingly pruned all terminal and auxiliary shoots. it has enough vegetation, and has rooted. But will it ever grow? Or just exist? Thanks.

White "inflorescences" after 24 days from seed and smelly plant, is it normal?
Dear fellow growers, I've noticed today some white "inflorescences" coming out from the plant, and it's also quite smelly. Since it's day 24 since I've planted the seed, I feel that the plant is too small to start flowering, what do you think? I've not changed light cycle (~16-8)

Getting better yields from small plants
She's well into flower but in my opinion, she's too short for it. What can I do to make the flowering process go as well as possible considering her short 15cm stature? The side nodes are barely 5cm tall and are already flowering. With no new leaves growing it might get rough.
