Hi guys! I would know if it is good to bring down the leaf (I mean, if is good for the plant, so the light of the lamp can reach also the inside of the plant) or if i have to do it in another way Thnx for the answer 🙏🏻

I'm going to take cuttings for clones soon. If you check the pics you should see that the taller of the 2 plants has a "Y" where the main stem split. I'm thinking cutting at the bottom of the Y would give me a good cutting/clone. Any thoughts or advice welcome... Thanks!

Hey guys, the Atami guide is telling me to switch to Tera Max & Atazyme after week 2. Before that I was using Rootfast & Tera Leaves. Should I switch back to the old feeding schedule or proceed with atami's guide? Also, I want to LST but I'm not really sure when to start. Thank u

Why would my PH level jump from 5.6-5.8 to 7+ in a 24 hour period? I leave for 2 days every weekend so no one to tend to my plants. I don't want to deal with a lock out.

How much to defoliate?
How much should I be defoliating right now? I've been attempting to apply the lollipop method but it's painful to keep pruning. I don't know how far to go. There are some fan leaves that are yellowing and limp towards the bottom which don't recieve as much light. Clip em too?

I'm in week 3 and she's starting to smell. Today I walked in and the smell was unmistakable and ramping up from just a few days ago. What does this mean? Does it indicate some kind of change in the plant I need to be aware of? Do I need to take care of anything differently?

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)? *The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*

Trimming?
Do I need to give her a nice trim since she’s going into flowering? She’s getting pretty thick in the center and I want to get the best plant possible.
