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

So I am currently on day 28 of flower and seeing no new signs of deficiencies. I’m running the Sensi bloom schedule at half strength 800ppm. Should I up my feed if my plants aren’t showing signs of deficiencies or will not do anything and just cause salt buildup?Week 13

I was debating whether or not to prune lower branches on the glueberry that are impossible to get light to and are tiny sad little things. Would it be too late 30 days into flower to effect any change in the buds, or would it give me slightly better yield?Week 11

Seems on my last grow I must have had a hermie that I didn’t see. I have found a bunch of seeds so 👎. I did a quick clean of the tent before this round, but is there anything anyone would suggest before I have buds starting? Spray for foliage and or tent walls etc.Week 2

Hey guys, today I discovered a few bananas on one of the Ayahuascas, only on one stems. I removed them, but I don't have much experience with this, should I also remove the stem they were on, or I should not worry at all?
Appreciate every answer, thanks!Week 7

Got a problem with my humidity. Since my plants grew out my 4x4 (1,2m²) tent the level inside increased to 70%
By opening the tent it droppes back to 50% but I need to have the tent closed in my environment
Any suggestions and help by decreasing the humidity is very appreciatedWeek 8

When doing defoilation I teilled off all the fan leaves except four at each top. My question is how much of the other branches should I trim off too?
Also, should you trim a bit at a time so there is not much shock or everything at once?
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers.Week 10

Hi growers! Should I change my light schedule for my plants when they come to flowering period? Now I have grow-LEDs (300W) at 18 hr/day and daylight-LEDs (120W) at 24 hr/day. Plants start to get bushy and start dwarfling - i'm concerned I have too much light on them.Week 5
