Can safely snip at least 5 or 6 of the big, top leaves.. leaving the little ones to grow out again :)

I've noticed some pistils starting to turn on the upper bud sites, see the last photo above. My question is, is this ok only 2 weeks in to flower, or have I burnt the pistils with feeding, or lights? It's my first grow, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks!!

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?

Since autos have a finite timeline is it better to just let it grow as much as possible and get as big as possible or have the most bud sites when its starts to flower? I'm doing my first grow and started a Critical Thunder auto amongst my others. Not knowing anything about autos

I am running a 65 litre buppleponic & dwc system with flora series nutrients. My question is, at what stage should I consider flushing the plant to reduce nutrient uptake before harvest? I have read anything from 1 week to 3 days. Thanks in advance.

The GH label states that the nutrient solition should be changed weekly. That seems excessive. How can one tell that it's time to change the solution or just add to it?

This q is for my Candy Cane Auto. I know I likely should have went right into a 3+g pot, instead I used a jiffy puck and a small container with my medium of choice. I decided that I best transplant before she gets too developed. Will she be stunted? They are at day 6, all intact.

Has anyone tried growing in perlite? I know I'll need to monitor my nutes. I'm not seeing much difference than growing in co co except the co co seems to retain more moisture.

Anyone use Humic acid in their grows with synthetic feeds? What benefits am I looking for? I’ve recently added Zeus juice and I’m unsure of the benefits.

Hi to all the happy gardeners out there. I've just been informed that i have been given three different strains. Is anyone keen on a guessing game. One is white widow, one is northern lights/ big bud, and i think it was somthing like afghan orange or somthing like that.😬
