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

I'm confused about what seems to be growing at the bud sites of my auto feminized plant. The white hairs suggest female plant to me, but the bulky lobes almost look like sacs of some sort. Can anyone maybe help identify what my problem is?

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?

Does tying down branches make a huge difference in quantity? Why wouldnt you perform LST? My plants are super bushy, at what point do they start to take off vertically? Thanks!

Too early for defoliation/topping?
Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early? On the Jack Herrer, (3) is it too small for topping?

Has anyone had any grow complications due to a light? I don’t want the problem to be the light I have taken a precaution. But if it comes to it I’d rather order a new one that’s not like this as it’s the first time I’ve seen orange and yellow added? Am I over thinking it?

Should I have trimmed the Bush?
More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Do you have any watering tips? No way to find out what is the best way. Do I initially water with less water but more often or soak the whole pot? Someone who has experience with airpots?

I started a flush about 2-3 weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Turns out she's taking longer than I anticipated. Should I restart nutrients, or keep it clean until harvest?
