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

When would you suggest, I introduce Canna PK 13/14? I have started to notice white pistols, that I assume is a sign that it's in pre-flower (refer to videos above).
What is the optimal PH, PPM, Humidity and Temp at this stage?
From the videos, do you see any deficiency?Week 5

When should I make the harvest (according to the colour of the trichomes) if I want to get the maximum of CBD? Some people say THC is degraded in CBD (late harvest), some say it is the opposite (early harvest ). I'm not interested in CBN. I would like to get the maximum of CBD. Thank you !!Week 10

Ive got 2-3 weeks to go, as you can see by the Week 11 lower canopy pics I missed some bud sights on the lower levels when defoliating. They are still mostly pistils and I know they wont get a ton of light or develop alot. Is it worth the stress to remove them now or let em go?Week 11

I've heard a lot of back and fourth whether you should, or should not use plant protectors (bugs,mold, etc) during flower period. I just want to know what is and what is not ok to give your plants during flower, assuming that the plant in question is in fact healthy.
Thanx guysWeek 7

Flushing techniques with organic soil. I hate chemical tasting weed. I have organic soil in 7 gallon pots. It takes 4.2 litres to have very little run off at the bottom. 3.5 weeks left of flower. What’s your best method to flush plants in the final weeks ?Week 10

Any thoughts on these trichomes? Plant is only about 6 weeks through flowering, but the trichomes looks super milky and somewhat amber, and its about 80% red hairs. Strain is supposed to be an 8-9 week flowering period.
I prefer higher proportion milky, but this seems early....Week 9
