As i have never mainlined a plant before im asking if i should do some more defoliation or remove some small buds at the bottom. Will this help to gain some more yield from the main buds?

At this point i'd just leave them. Make some bubble has with them or even butter.. I wouldn't cut anything off. π

Getting better yields from small plants
She's well into flower but in my opinion, she's too short for it. What can I do to make the flowering process go as well as possible considering her short 15cm stature? The side nodes are barely 5cm tall and are already flowering. With no new leaves growing it might get rough.

FIMIN During Flower?
Hey guys. I'm wk 3 in flower and I was just wondering how far into this stage yall will continue to FIM for tops? I have held off for the logic that they need energy for bud form but how far have yall pushed them? Do you have a specific time that you just refuse to touch the girl

Why am I seeing orange hairs on my buds so early into flower?
We are at day 18 of flower and we noticed on one of the purple punch plants that on one bud, there are some orange hairs forming and they are wilting. The lights are about 26 inches away and we are watering when the soil is dry. What could be happening?

White Bud Tops
Painkiller F36. The upper colas' tops turned white (don't mean the hairs, it's clean white bud parts). I heard this happens when some strains get to close to the light. I don't mind it, but is there any downside to this and do these white parts stay white during drying?

Photos and autos
Hi! As I'm growing some photos and autos in the same tent, side by side... will it be ok to induce flowering and it still not affect the autos harvest? Or should I let them veg and do a bit more canopy management to help keep it low, until the autos are ready to harvest?18/6 now
