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

Hi, thanks for taking a look at my second grow. My question is, does anyone have any recommendations on what I can use in addition to the GHE trio nutes that I am already using with the goal to making bigger and better buds? Thank you,

I understand that by placing less clay balls my roots will reach the reservoir quicker, but then wouldn't sunlight seep through the remaining exposed net pot?

This is my first indoor grow, is there anything different i should be doing at harvest, other than just chopping it down like with outdoor? What's with the putting plants in the dark for 24+ hours before chopping?

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! 🙏

I was wondering if there is anything I can use with autos to create a bigger more dense bud? I see a lot of products out there and not sure which one is good for autos and at what strength. I am using Fox Farms products and have about 3-4 weeks before I begin my final flush.

I've chopped the plants, big one is whole plant and small one in branches. Is my 6" roof fan (seen week one) on "low" (1/3) enough ventilation if they're both hanging in the tent? I've turned off my circulation fan, should I put it on low underneath the buds? Humidity ~55

What are the beige/brown spots a sign of? Why are the two Cookies plants always droopy yet the Blue Dream never droopy and they have all been watered the same. Roughly 1g each every 5 or so days when pots are dry and light. My light is up to 30" so that's not it.

I have a nutrient question. With full strength Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom should i still add Sensi Cal-Mag? Starting water is RO 5ppm. If yes, do I use full strength cal-mag or just add some to top off water? Or is full strength on both too much for those minerals?

Lollipoping before flowering
Today is Wednesday. On Saturday both of my plants will be sent into the flowering phase. I am currently thinking on lollipopping them both tomorrow for flowering, this is what a Youtuber I watch recommends. However I am unsure wether I should do it with the small plant. Thoughts?

Defoliate
I asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. Thanks
