When is a good time to start pruning?When is a good time to start pruning? She is about 10 inches tall and is short and VERY bushy. Has several leaves hidden from light and so I am thinking of pruning today. However I don't want to do it too soon. So far my pruning has been VERY minimal. Thoughts?

Note that I have two plants in one hydro farm. The small plant is 5 days younger, as many parents experience it was an accident, but I love her nonetheless. I hate to toss one, but have nowhere else to grow it. Can I grow both in the same pot ?

All my readings and studies makes me believe she’s a female because of the white hair (pistils) around the top. Since I’m a newbie can someone take a look at the pics and let me know for sure? Also, how can I know if a plant is an hermie? It shows both sexes next to each other?

Flowering Defoliation Question Hey All, I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

As seen in one of my pics on week 16, you can see a dried brown spot on one of my leaves. It's not on a ton of leaves but it's in a few different spots. What could be causing this? If it's a PH issue I don't know because I'm doing no-till and haven't monitored the PH.

Smaller stems under the net during Flowering (Defoliation and ScrOG)I put a ScrOG net and now I am wondering if I should delete everything under the net or leave also the smaller leaves and stems for the flowering. You can see in my diary how the plants are. I'm afraid that leaving also smaller stems under the net would decrease my harvest
