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

How much defoliation is too much? I defoliate every two days, but she keeps on producion a ton of leaves, so my guess is I'm not pulling enough leaves. Opinions?

What is your favorite way to finish a plant at this stage? Dark period? Starving? Get wild with some stem splitting? No need for flush cuz super soil 👍

At start of light today in this tent I noticed this single top bud looking a little shriveled or curled compared to the others. What could cause this? Plant is not showing any other signs, but is getting over a very brief fungus gnat infection.

I changed my lighting setup for this one and took out the CFL’s from before, I only have a 300W LED grid hanging now. Will this make a difference? And how big ? I also moved the LED a lot closer for this grow. Would the height it’s hanging from now be okey ?

When should I begin the flushing process for my OG Glueberry Auto? Normally it would be starting 2 weeks prior to harvest. Is that still applicable to Auto strain? Do they need two weeks of flushing, or will one week suffice?

When you go to LST , is it easier to do this when the plant is more thirsty as the branches have more give? Also, do our work it until it “half breaks” or just get it to bend without it breaking inside? Does this make sense?
