Just leave it be and everything should be OK. Interfering may do more harm than good.

How many Nodes is too much?
Should I cut some nodes off my WWBB#1 and amnesia Kush. They both have alot of nodes and I'm wondering if it's best that I ensure the nodes that remain have enough space to grow properly

Too fast, too high
So here's the question. The box height is 1.5M. plant is already 75cm + pot size. Apollo-1 is getting closer and closer to the lights, which I don't like. It has 35-40cm left till light panel. Do you recommend to super crop the center, main stem?Or do you have any other solution?

Darkness before flipping crop?
I'm getting ready to flip my crop to flower. What's the significance of giving the crop 25 - 36 hours of darkness before flipping? In the past, I would just flip the lights to 12 and 12 and introduce the flowering fertilizer slowly while reducing the foliage solution.

Ideal temp and humidity for autoflower strains.
Based on what I have researched, it looks like photosensitive and auto strains require different parameters. Is that true? Is 75°-85°F ideal? Is 40%-70%RH ideal?

Thoughts, clone health.
Are day old clones supposed to look like this? They look very sad and unhealthy. I've been keeping the temp at 70-80 and RH at 75-90. I used a lot of Clonex.

Preflower Faster, Finish Faster (Autos)
I am in final flush (DWC) of ILGM Zkittlez Auto, and finished almost a week early (topped at day 20). I have lab-style grow room/cabinet that maintains humidity, nutrients, etc. with little deviation to schedule/plan. Will an auto finish faster if it can get to preflower faster?

Clones: trim the leaves horizontal or no?
When you cut a potential clone from the mother. I usually try to have at least 3 nodes, but when the nodes are alternating (why do they alternate sometimes?) VS two leaves stemming on each side of the main stem in a symmetrical style? I also cut the bottom in a diagonal way why?

Outdoor Bonsai: Root Pruning instead of Repotting?? Thoughts??
I figured I would start off my first grow question with a bang: I'm thinking about turning Barry into Bonsai Barry. So basically, put him in the 7Gal pot and root prune where ideally you would repot (I would say 2-3 times knowing that I'm early).. 3..... 2...... 1....... SHOOT

Should I trim my flower?
Firstly I want bud that is as potent as possible. Secondly I want a big yield. I have heard that trimming will direct energy to buds. Is trimming something I should do right now, judging by how it looks? Or should I just let it grow? I have plenty of space, so that's not an issue

Harvest this one soon?
I’m a noob who doesn’t want to mess this up! Please view these GSC Autoflowers. How close am I to harvesting this plant? This one plant will likely be ready 1-2 weeks before my others. Anyway, any assistance would be helpful! Gracias!

Slow my Grow
I am having an unexpected emergency move. So now... I need to slow my vegetative growth without triggering flowering. Is it better to reduce the nutrients or have less light? I need to hold out a couple more weeks and they are getting very large fast.
