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

Like every other noob... how does she look? Got some light note tips on the sugar leaves so she got a flush. Before harvest will let her chill with the window open to see if I can get some purple on the purp. Got a week 7 flowering Chem dawg 91 I will add pics soon.

My fan leaves seem very large which,to me, translates to a healthy plant. Should I be pulling these large healthy leaves or is it a bit early to defoilate?

Im planning on my final defoliation to be on Day 21 flower. Should I remove every fan leaf/any leaf not directly attached to the bud or is that too much? How do some of you go about your final defoliation?

This is my first grow. Is it reasonable to water her 1 liter water now? Water means tap water with 4 ml of each Advanced Nutrient pH Perfect Sensi Coco Grow A and Advanced Nutrient pH Perfect Sensi Coco Grow B. She seems very thirsty.

Any advice on harvesting the plant? Drying and curing, maintaining the aroma, flavor, and appearance? This has been a struggle for me in the past...

These girls are needing to be topped, but since i just put them into the dwc system should i wait untill the roots have reached down into the water? Or is the rootball in the rockwool good enough to go ahead and top them, so they can get on with recovering from the stress?

Starting what should be the last 4 weeks of hydro. The plant looks extremely healthy to me. I'm working the humidity down as it is a little high. Any words of wisdom for the home stretch?

How do you tell when it is time to water your plants and is it a good idea to put an inch of perlite on top of the growing medium?

Defoliate?
I'm debating doing some defoliation. Is the growth of this plant bushy enough to benefit from it? Newbie here.

5 gallon pot, in middle of 4th week veg, roots already starting to come out the bottom drain holes! Should I be worried about binding? I thought 5 gal would be more than enough for the whole grow? What happens if too much root comes out the drain hole, do I clip it back?
