Only in late flowering , but you never really cut the nitrogen amount, you must reducing it while your PK ratio is getting higher. When you flush you cut the nitrogen ... and everything else

Prune bushy top of small plant?
One of my plants is kinda short but bushy on top, so i was wondering if i should maybe remove some leaves so that the lower parts of the plant will get more light ? Plant in question is 4 weeks old now and around 12cm in height.

Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?
I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

I'm considering topping her today, and was wondering if it's a good time for it. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to wait a bit longer? She seems to be quite healthy and growing noticeably every day. I'm in no rush at all, just hoping for best results as a first grow. Thanks!

So this plant is in week 8 now, 50 days and still hasn’t formed any flowers- seems to be vegging forever. Light schedule is 20/4 - breeder says will flower at 18/6 - is it not going to flower because it’s getting too much light? Is this possible for an auto? Any advice? Thank you

First post / question as newbie, I’m at the point of flushing my space mango in soil with perlite 65/35. Flushed around 40-50 litres of ph water at 130 ppm, ppm went up and over 1000+ then came back down. Is this normal? Running out at 204 now but the last of drained water at 394

When is the best time to defoliate when scrogging? I know this question might be a bit vague but just wondered if there was a more suitable timing with the plants cycle.

Flushing aids like Flawless Finish that I'm using now. Can it be used together with advanced hydro Final Solution ? Or can I use Final Solution after my flawless finish runs out? Any good sides for combining these too
