Hello! You shouldnt be doing that, will most likely stunt her since she grows by catching sun Light. Better do some lst!

Aggressive defoliaton. yes or no?
Hello everyone, What do you think? 2nd defoliation was too aggressive or is it ok? I'm a little bit nervous. See last 7 photos of week 6.

Does tying down branches make a huge difference in quantity? Why wouldnt you perform LST? My plants are super bushy, at what point do they start to take off vertically? Thanks!

This will be a all cob grow(CREE CXB3590 100w(65w) 3500k) ill start with 1 cob and add 2 more during week 2 orso. Will 3 COBS be enough for a 70x70x160 tent during flower because of the high ppf/w? Im able to add a 4th cob during week 6. I highly appreciate your help.

On day 16 today. They seem to be a bit stunted, perhaps due to the cold. Wondering if I should I replant into bigger pots or wait another week? Especially the one on the left since it's an auto, it may start flowering in a couple of weeks.

Topping or LST after 1st topping
Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

I’m currently at week 7 flower, using biobizz nutes, and wondering when I should be flushing? People say a week? Problem is my GDP clone looks a little further along, and I’m struggling to see the trichomes with my cheap loupe. I’m worried I’m already in the harvest window :(

The temperatures where I am living are increasing weekly and average around 35C currently. What steps can I take to preserve the terpenes of my harvest during drying? I will be using an air conditioner in my room to keep the temperatures around 20-23C, will this be enough?

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 ? 🕊️

First hydro. Is there anything I'm forgetting about ppm, maintaining pH from the resevoir, keeping rot from growing (non-issue with hydroguard right?) , etc? I plan on something for light, and change the jar and nutes if needed. Will let the roots breathe at the top.Canna->Lucas.

When would be the best time to pot them in the 20L pots and leave them permanently outside. In The Netherland there are quite some fluctuations in temperature and weather even in the summer. So i want to be sure they can handle it.
