I will go a step further.... At no stage in the plants development except very early will removing one leaf make any difference

So my question is basically if my main stem was accidentally supercropped in week 3 of flower do I just repeat this week's nutrient schedule and act like I'm just extending everything by a week (assuming the plant only needs a week to recover)?

Hey guys this is my first grow ever. And I was wondering what is the best way to germinate seeds? Is there any special tricks or do I just put the seeds into the soil?

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

How important is air temperature to the first stages of vegetative growth? With LED lights my air temp is lower and I wonder if the lower heat is affecting the early rate if growth?

Can anyone with experience growing Blueberry confirm the best curing time for taste? I believe a strain like Blueberry benefits from longer cures of a few months or more. I will attempt to give it aslong as possible but it would be nice to hear from experience.

I have been experiencing some high temps (peak 29c in tent) I can't control. I have very good ventilation and my PH, nutrients, etc, are all good. My foliage is lightening to a more yellow-green, does it look like a heat stress problem or just normal old age (day 50 auto)?

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage
These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?
These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?

What is the white stuff on my clay pebbles? I think it's some sort of salt build up but entirely sure. I flushed them out so we will see if it happens again this week.
