I don't know if you'd need to on that sort of plant. I would take those two huge fan leaves off and perhaps raise your lamp a little. Looks good 👍🌱

You sure can. The earlier the better. don't go crazy but go ahead an defoliate to expose new sites and promote new growth, secure, bend ,tuck whatever you want and experiment. Removing top growth will encourage bottom growth and bush out where as removing bottom growth will promote faster top growth, all within reason. Have fun and H@ppy growing. Cheers

Topping and LST (Not autos) I've topped before, but was wondering can you achieve the same yield just LSTing without topping, or is it best to do both? I know there's lots of info online but i feel more reassured listening to you guys lol, cheers

When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water

Any thoughts on these trichomes? Plant is only about 6 weeks through flowering, but the trichomes looks super milky and somewhat amber, and its about 80% red hairs. Strain is supposed to be an 8-9 week flowering period. I prefer higher proportion milky, but this seems early....
