yes take some off esp. to open up her for air movement, as well as better light penetration. you decently do want it to start producing moisture that is a recipe for mold and just not a good time. happy growing and hope this helps

se vuoi un cespuglio, la prima cosa e scegliere una varietà a crescita indica, assolutamente non defogliare nulla , ma legature

Leaf and growth removal
I’m always so cautious about growth and leaf removal. I always leave to much to late into flower and then get scared to remove it after. Would it be wise to start removing now end of week 4 beginning of week 5? Or should I leave the smaller struggling growth and larger leaves?

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

Removing popcorns
There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

I started a flush about 2-3 weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Turns out she's taking longer than I anticipated. Should I restart nutrients, or keep it clean until harvest?

Just installed my first scrog, planning on flowering in about 2-3 weeks. Looking tips on how to train the best. Should my screen be higher so plants grow into it more or do I want to force horizontal growth and then pull through openings?

Hey you fine horticulterists, another question thrown at you. When scouting online I've seen that some growers put their ladies thru a 24 hour dark period before harvesting. Is this something you do ? Is it required ? What are your preferences at harvest festival time ? 🕊️
