Trim. Always trim. Sugar leaves are harsh. I pick all the shades off before I cut it down. Dry upward, not down and in couple days all leafs will curl down at a easier cutting angle. Then cure.

BioThrive Fertilizer Water pH & PPM
I tested my BioThrive Bloom+CaMg fert water for the first time ever today; I've been feeding 4.5 pH & 340 ppm fert water solution; Soil pH is 6.7-ish per the Rapitest meter. Should I add pH up solution to make the fert water 6.2pH? What if the soil pH increases over 6.7?
