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

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

This is my first auto and considering there is recommended 2 weeks left is she in a good position for a decent yield? I’ve heard 1-2 oz is normal for an auto but I can’t even dream of these buds getting that big over the next few weeks. Should I have stayed at 18/6 to perform btrWeek 6

Off shoots stay or go away?Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! 🙏Week 8

I am using a crude yeast and sugar water mix for CO2 production. My space is 80cm x 3m x 2.3m. Does anyone have any experience of whether this is doing anything? I have the fan on constantly so the air is being recycled. Just wondering if what I am doing is worth it?Week 7

Just Stopped Stretch! - Gotta Do, What I Gotta Do?Against protocol I have hacked on this plant in Week 8. Way branchy! I got into pruning a dozen long scraggly lower runners. I could take out another 12+ wimpy branches easy and open it up good bit for light/air - and then leave it alone? Much anticipated waste, so gamble?Week 8
