The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
Absolutely. Cut from where the stem meets the base just try not to cut into the base. You can leave a little nubby if it puts your mind at ease.

Hello just press on the stems of the yellow leafs and they should just fall away clear any dead leafs away from top of pot as they can harbour bugs👍🏻

Excessive nodes and autoflowersMy plants have SO SO many nodes. In my opinion they have way way too many branches. Is there anything at all I could do as far as cutting/pinching, some of them off? They’re autoflowers and I’ve only really found people saying don’t do it.Week 5

Tops spacingMy plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?Week 7

Defoliation in flowerI did a defoliation before flip to flower, but im at the end of week 2 and did an aggressive lollipop over the past 3 days because I wasnt seeing good growth below the very top of the plants, and im wondering if this is too much stress going into week 3 flower
Thanks!Week 7

Harvest questions.Hello, I wanted to know if these look like they are ready for harvest or should I wait. The say it's ready when the pistels are milky white and amber but some of them aren't fully developed. Do I wait till those develop or when the majority are mature? Thanks in advance! 8wks oldBuds.
