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

21 days flowering defoliation?
Olá meus queridos colegas de growing! 21 days of flowering question: - Do I need to defoliate it? - How many and where? - Just the top leaves that make shadow on low branches? - Just the low leaves? (I'll do a lollipop as well)

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

How much defoliation is too much? I defoliate every two days, but she keeps on producion a ton of leaves, so my guess is I'm not pulling enough leaves. Opinions?

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community. I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6? After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

Any advice for growing with coco outdoors in the rain? Wet week ahead. I’m wondering if I should increase my feeding from once to twice a day to prevent the coco being flushed too much? Or if I should have a stronger nute mix when feeding in rain?

My plants do not match up with other Bangi Haze plants. These were two free promotional seeds i received from a seed bank . They seems to be a hybrid as far as i can tell. My question is did this happen to anyone else and do you know what seeds they could be?

My calendar says these should be done on 9/10/2019 (in 4 days). Do they look like they're ready to harvest, or will they need more than 4 days? It may help to add that I am color blind, so seeing the amber colors of the trichomes is very difficult for me. Any help would be great!

Do stems stay somewhat soft throughout vegetation? Wondering because I’m still able to bend the branches on wemy bagseed that’s 9 weeks old that’s still vegatating. My auto that’s about a week into flowering are hard like sticks... probably a silly first timer question

Should I remove the smallest and lowest stems of the plant on 6th week? I'm pretty sure they will be useless being that small and down but will it help in some way?

Cutting off smaller branches ?
My auto is in first week of flowering. I been doing LST, to keep her from growing taller. There are two branches that don't look extremely promising, and I am considering to snip them off to give the other budsights a better chance. What is ur opinion? I'll try to attach some pic
