I would say no. Plants need the leaves to supply energy for your girl. When you have a lot of leaves you can remove one blocking some light but for now if you want another spot to have more light, just tuck that leaf down. Cheers

Any hints on finishing off plants in the final stages of blooming/ripening to ensure max deliciousness? Bud fattening, terpene and flavor strengthening etc. Thanks! 😎

Hopefully not wasting my question here. But trying to enter newbie of the month giveaway. How does it work? How do I know if I've entered? I've clicked the button but won't seem to allow me to add my diary, does it have to be complete before I enter these competitions? Thanks

Gents/Ladies, Anyone got any ideas with what I should do with the cola that has stunted growth due to the stem being half broken? I managed to top it, just about... Was thinking if it doesn't decide to grow anymore in a weeks time, I could top the one next to it again?

Defoliacion con LST en exterior?
Es necesario aplicar defoliacion cuando aplicamos LST en exterior? ¿O la luz del sol es capaz de alcanzar a todas las ramas y hojas? Planeo sacar al exterior mañana, y tendré unas 8 horas de luz solar directa

Indoor growers, what's your favorite node to top? 😊 Do you prefer topping above the 2nd node for 4 big colas ("uncle ben method"), or the 3rd, 4th, ..., for a bushier plant? . Please share your opinion if you have tried some methods 👍

So, the top half of my plant is about a week from harvest. The bottom half has started to look nicer as I've lost some of the highest fan leaves. Is it possible to cut off just the top half of the plant and let the lower portions continue to grow? Or is the shock too much?

Hello there, is there someone who have already used the Advanced nutrients in order to give me some advice about the daily dosage, particularly upon autoflowering sativa strain? Moreover, with high room temperature (about 30° C) how often is it recommended to water daily? Thanks

Do my plants look good to flip to flower in 1 week? Should I do anything else before flipping like more LST or defoliation? Any insight is helpful, thank you.
