Hello. Its been my experience that plants don't do as good if you top them in the flowering stage. That should be done in the veg stage. I wait till week 3 to do any major last pruning and trimming. I like the plant to be fully in the flowering stage before messing around with it too much. If you take any more than a third of the leaves at any point in the grow you have a good change of sending your plant into shock, which takes 3 or more days to recover and start growing again. Good Luck. Chuck.

Even with extreme super cropping, the plant will try to right itself in a few days. Keep it tied down. As for leaf removal, as long as there is no open space where the light hits the soil / media, you are doing good, just be sure that there is at least 1 leaf taht is catching that light, in the spots where you are defoliating

I started noticing drooping on one plant about 4 days ago. I know it’s not overwatering, but thought it might be under watering, but still no change. The leaves appear to be a very dark olive color. Watered with a little kelp as I thought maybe heat stress. Thoughts? Help?Week 3

Week 9 and found seeds in all plants! No pictures necessary! I can only put it down to some form of stress!
I have found a few seeds in various locations on all plants but so far it doesn't seem that excessive.
What would you do in my situation? Harvest on schedule or ASAPWeek 8

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community.
I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6?
After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.Week 1

I've turned up the QB watts to 180 and now my temperature is at 25.9 and humidity at 37%. I don't want to use my humidifier because it's hard to keep it under 60%
I've also read lower humidity is okay and works better with higher temps.
I guess the question is Watts up or down?Week 4

Hello brothers and sisters...
Plant this baby girl with her tap root facing down? I mean, I'm sure down is the way to go, but I get a question so might as well make sure...
I'm putting her in Promix. I want to make her life as Kushy as possible. 😂Week 1
