hi, its not too late. just go easy to do not stress the plant too much. no more than 3-4 leaves for day. remember that after week 6 of flowering plant will stop generating new leaves.

Bottom of plant looking shit
Bottom of plant not looking too good, can't tell if from lack of light, over/under watering or the start of a nitrogen deficiency, plants been in super soil for 9 weeks so not sure if nitrogen is getting low. Started to look rough about a week ago

Is of sometimes normaal that the 2 leaves you have on your baby plant are standing upwards? Like a closed flower, if you know what I mean? 2 are normal but 1 is doing that...

Defoliation Advice
Should I start pulling the leaves at the bottom that are yellowing/dying? I've read that first time growers shouldn't attempt defoliation on the first grow.

Final weeks of flower, am I ready?
I am curious if you all think I'm burning her with light or nutrients perhaps? I'm feeding every other day about 1-1.5 liters with 5ml bloom. 12/12, 20" away from light.

More Defoliation??
Do I need to defoliate her more around where the buds are fattening up?? I've been defoliating her but lightly once every other week or as needed. How much leaves should I leave on her??

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?
Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

My seedling has grown three nodes so far. Why does my plant only have one fan leaf with 3 leaves on the second node, and two fan leaves with 3 leaves on the third node? Shouldn't both the leaves on the second node have 3 leaves and both the leaves on the third node have 5 leaves

What do you guys think about the leaves curling sideways like a pin wheel? I thought they would straighten out as the grew, but they're not. Not sure if the next set of leaves are going to do the same thing or not, they're too small. Only strain out of 4 doing it.

Plant not flowering
After 13 weeks this lady is not flowering- every time I see the new growth it just develops into more leaves! She has also streched massively over the last 4 weeks as if she's just about to flower but nothing. She was a free auto seed I got but seems like she's a dud?

Too many leaves?
So everything seems fine but I feel like there are way too many leaves that over shadows what's below. Should I do something that could be beneficial? Or just leave it as it is? Maybe some defoliation, little by little, to not stress the plant? It's in week 9 now.
