I will go a step further....
At no stage in the plants development except very early will removing one leaf make any difference
Herbieanswered grow question 5y ago
Cut it or leave it. at this stage of growth it won't really matter

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 floweringI flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?

I've noticed some pistils starting to turn on the upper bud sites, see the last photo above. My question is, is this ok only 2 weeks in to flower, or have I burnt the pistils with feeding, or lights? It's my first grow, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks!!Week 5

Hi, I have a garden I can grow in but to give them more light I put them in my basement each night and hit them all night with 1000w LED. I believe sunlight is much better than any light. So... is what I'm doing okay or wise? Or should I just leave them indoors under the LED?Week 7

Help me Understand Defoliation and Pruning around 17-21 dayscofStill learning lots. I’m at day 18 of Flower and would like some feedback on what’s considered 1/3 of the plant for lollipopping effectively. Do I take the bud sites and fan leaves from everything under 1/3 of the plants total height or do I take bottom third existing foliage?

This is my first grow and I'm not sure when to harvest. I have one plant with lots of frosty trichomes and a few orange hairs. Then another with a lot of orange but not a lot of frost. The third seems to be behind with mostly white hairs and clear trichomes. See pics Dec 16.Week 12

I have a pretty decent heat wave stretch coming my way late next week after the 4th. What’s the best way to protect an outdoor crop in full sun during a heatwave? Obviously the easiest way would be to move it, (she’s in a container) but I have a tarp on hand as well.Week 6

I live in a terraced house facing East so my front windows get the am sunshine and my garden and rear windows get the pm. When she is old enough I will move her into the greenhouse and she will get about 4/5 hours of direct sunlight. Is this sufficient for an autoflower?Week 1

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community.
I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6?
After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.Week 1
