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

Asking all the Green Buzz Liquid growers:
What experience did you make with clean fruits? Is it required to use clean fruits with flushing or is it okay just to water the girls with that additive without producing drain?
I mean, normally no need to flush organic nutes, right? 😁Week 12

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically.
I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. ThanksWeek 9

Defoliation regularity helpJust wondering how often I should be doing defoliation? At the moment I’m kind of snipping off a few leaves n new growth as I see them each day. Is that too frequent? Should I wait n do a good amount at once maybe every week?Week 4

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth autoHello!
Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage?
Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility.
Many thanks.Week 13
