If you take any leave take them from the bottom and take only whatever is small or a bit damaged just a couple tops

I'd just let her be as is, until harvest.. She's already been through a lot with the stem breaking.

You could take 2 or 3 of the larger top leaves off. Just remember that the leaves are the engine for photosynthesis so you really want to keep as many as you can. If a few at the top are really blocking light, then go for it. You have to strike that balance though. Good luck!

Hey guys, I’ve seen some posts where the plant is of an auto flower type, where the growers have topped it. I’ve also heard from many people that if I top my autoflower it will cause stress and flower? Any help clarifying this? 🙈

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

Alright - I need to know, is it time to harvest or close to? I have some photos in my diary that show some dark amber trichomes, a fair bit I'd say.

A couple of buds look like the tops aren’t really “compacting” and are stretching. Would lowering lights help, are the buds foxtailing? Is this bad? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Can someone tell me if the flowers are burned? the ends of the pistils are brown. It may be that the treatment with potassium soap has damaged the pistils? I always apply them in hours without sun. Thank you very much !!

I changed my lighting setup for this one and took out the CFL’s from before, I only have a 300W LED grid hanging now. Will this make a difference? And how big ? I also moved the LED a lot closer for this grow. Would the height it’s hanging from now be okey ?
