I would in fact lst might be a little difficult as your stalk has gotten pretty sturdy so it may not want to bend easily. But I would atleast top or preferably fim the top to get those branches growing out

Are humidity domes a good idea for seedlings? Usually, before using the dome, I had almost 100% germination and with the dome I'm losing 60% of my seeds to damping off, mold issues or sometimes seeds dont even sprout. Dome at 78f and 75% humidity under 2 2ft t5 6400k

I need a little help from an "old rabbit"..... nothing wild.
7/8 day of bloom. I would like to know when to defoliate in bloom? Not at all at first? 2nd week? Every week? It gets very tight all around. So I would like to remove everything from the bottom that doesn't get light. Thanks in advance.

Is that a male pre-flower on that 5th picture? You can see 2 nodes there, lower node and upper node. Upper node is showing female pre-flowers, but what is that wee thing on the right half of the lower node? It's the stalk-y thing that confuses me.

How much/little should I prune?
I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions these last few days regarding defoliation/plucking/pruning. Today is day 21 of 12/12 and my only goal is to prevent white powdery mildew. How many leaves would you take off? RH overnight spikes into the high 70’s if the dehumidifier is off

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

I’m doing DWC buckets. I’m 5 weeks into veg and need to top up the water occasionally. Should I be pumping the old water out every so often and putting new solution in, or do you guys just keep topping with ph’d nute water? If you do swap out the water, what’s your procedure?

Help me Understand Defoliation and Pruning around 17-21 dayscof
Still 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?

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Is there any way I can prolong the veg stage to allow the pant to get a bit bigger. I was thinking if I topped her she will be forced to put out new growth but I have no idea if this is possible with auto flowers. Could this be detrimental to the plant? What should I do?
