Hey even though you are a little later in the flower stage, I would remove a couple of those big bottom leaves so the plant can focus on thinking up your buds a little more. Try and not remove too many though as you are later in flowering. Hope that helps and happy growing

You can always remove a few leaves. At this stage you only want to take a few every couple days though. Anything heavier, you risk stressing her out.

Does anyone know what the really small silver streaks could be? Im growing in a cupboard which is a consistent temp of 22 Celsius. Have checked undersides of leaves for pests and cant seem to see anything. Is it a nutrition deficiency. I have not used any fertiliser yet.

Single plant leaf finger has turned purple/almost black! I know plants turn purple from cold but it's not that cold, just really rainy. What's happening? Any other pro tips for finishing her off these final two weeks would be great too! About to flush. Anything else!? Thank you!

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Referring to the last 4 photos: I think I could have removed many more leaves, but I wanted to ask you if I should or not. Referring in particular to the last two photos: what should I do with these little stems for a proper defoliation/lollipopping? Leave them or chop them off?

I've basically thrown all training out the window. I am not doing much more than just letting it grow. The tent really needs more lighting but that isn't going to happen this grow. I presume that flowering will begin within the week. What do I need to be doing right now?

What do you think how much longer for the Quick One, around 2, 3 weeks? I was thinking of feeding her one more time in the next couple of days and then start to flush. Do you have any guesses on the yield of Quick One? Also curious to what that deficiency is showing on the leaves
