I attempted topping on both my Northern Lights, and My Girl Scout Cookies. The Northern Lights went just fine, but when topping the GSC I nicked one of the Lateral Branches. What should I do to fix it?

I’m notsure you’d be able to get anything on there it’s a pretty small plant. But if you ever break a larger branch tape works well.

Depending on how much you broke, you could also cut a match and use it as a splinter

I’d put some blue painters tape around the nicked branch. You should be able to take the tape off in about a week.

Strip Her Down?
There’s very little peripheral light penetration as she is wall to wall solid inside this box, and now only 4” to the light. Being the first day of week 8, how far would you defoliate this plant?

Flowering bush recommendation
My plant is rather bushy. I don’t want issues during the flowering. I am hesitant to trim down unless it shows signs of issues. What are the recommendations? Branch is falling off should I trim it?

I have recently seen other growers partially harvest their plants. I understand the theory behind it, the lower buds get a chance to mature and bulk up. I am looking for growers that have experience in this and whether it is worth it and how you went about doing it.

I am about three weeks away from harvesting and have used the maximum nutrient solution for the past 5 weeks. Should I start using less nutrients for the final weeks up until i just use water for 4 to 5 days to flush them?
