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.

Sure, remove those leave, or leave them and they will fall on their own, it does not really matter, as they wither they will come off with barely a touch.

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👍🏻

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?

I’m curious about the color of my SODK. The whole plant is basically yellow (see pics, started around week 6). It doesn’t look unhealthy though and the buds are looking great. Just wondering did I do something wrong or is it simply genetics?

I have a question regarding my feeding methods, the plants are currently in flower period and I'm using Canna Terra Flores to feed them. The plants recieve about 2-3 ml of this product a day. But is this enough? Should I give more? Will the buds increase in size if I do? Thanks!

Harvest or wait longer? See microscope images on week 12 and bud pics. 10% amber under the microscope. To me, just looking at the bud with my naked eye, I'd say wait a little longer as all the hairs have not all curled in yet. Also, please comment in the comment section too.

Why is the Tonic Ryder so much smaller than the GG#4 even though i started them on the same day in the same earth? Is it a function of the different genetics or am I screwing up?
