No I wouldn't, she's still stretching. No need to pull them off unless they're blocking flower sites or dying. 👍🌱

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Ok so I'm new. On disability so flat broke. What can I feed her? I changed to a big fat 400w bulb. After giving the roots a good chance to grow on an 18/6 schedule, I've topped the 6th node. Pruned the first 2 nodes off...were weak. I gave her 2 days to recover now 24 lightWeek 4

Should I leave the white veg light on during flowering? The only reason I’m considering it is because I’ve read that the plant still absorbs small amounts of white/green light. I want to maximize the amount of light I have on it but not if it’s a waste of time or detrimentalWeek 13

Leaf and growth removalI’m always so cautious about growth and leaf removal. I always leave to much to late into flower and then get scared to remove it after. Would it be wise to start removing now end of week 4 beginning of week 5? Or should I leave the smaller struggling growth and larger leaves?Week 11

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.
