Depending on how much height you have left from your light to the top of the canopy. Plants tend to double in size .

Is it a twin possibly?
One of my plants has been growing significantly slower than the others right from the get go, and then during this week I noticed how it finally popped it's second set of leaves, only there was two sets of leaves. So the question is, do I have a twin or is this just normal?

Is my seedling a mutant or could this be due to half the seed husk taking longer than usual to fall off and deforming the growth of the first leaves?

Defolation Question ???
Hallo nochmal, my Pflanze blüht endlich und ich habe schon ein paar Entfärbungen gemacht, aber die Blätter grow sehr schnell nach und ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich wieder entblähen muss? Soll ich schon mehr Blätter entfernen? Sieht die Pflanze gesund und gut aus? Was denkst du so

Dear reader, I have 3 plants: the one with the blue badge is looking good but the other 2 are short in my opinion. They have lots of leaves and branches but they are like 12 cm high. Is this a problem? Solution? (Lights higher maybe?) Thanks!

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?
Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light? I am in day 13 of flowering I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.

My Timer malfuntioned and gave them over 22 hrs of light?I was wondering why they kept growing this fast and big until i controlled the system and noticed they get to much light and stretching this hard. So i turned the hrs down to 16 to stress them into blooming, will this Work?

Should I be looking at more defoliation on my plants? I am ending the first week of flower and already they seem crazy bushy. I know its not recommended in flower but I feel like I have a lot of fan leaves that may be in the way of bud sites. Let me know if you need more pics.

Pruning fan leaves
I'd appreciate any thoughts on when it would be OK to prune out just the mammoth fan leaves that shade the node spots lower down. They're like friggin' umbrellas. When, if it all, would it be safe to do so?
