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

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience

In the cover photo for this grow is the flower in mention. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this is. Its only this one flower out of 5 plants. It's on the plant which has mad genetics, if you look back through the grow you'll see this.

Is there anyone with experience with the soil and flowertablets of Nirvana (NL). There is not so much information on the web about the use of it or any reviews. Thanks

Can someone tell me if the flowers are burned? the ends of the pistils are brown. It may be that the treatment with potassium soap has damaged the pistils? I always apply them in hours without sun. Thank you very much !!

Week three of bloom cycle , Looks like a lot of bud sites , maybe I should have removed a lot of smaller bud sites on the bottom to help the bigger buds on the top , would it be too late in the bloom cycle to remove the lower smaller growth on my really leafy plants😏😏✋

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

They are in 2 gallon pots right now. When should I switch them to 5 gallon? When should I start flower. I can get my light 2 inches away from the top of my tent and my tent is 6’7” tall.

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?
I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!

I'm growing this plant very carefully to not draw too much attention, so i'm leaving her grow without any kind of training of very specific nutrients. She looks about 1 m high, what do you guys think the harvest is going to amount to? How many weeks are left to harvest?
