In my experience I've never seen any substantial gain by trimming in to flowering cycle. From what I've read, it's usually done in veg. If it was me and space was an issue I'd lollipop a few bottom branches off to give the upper ones more space .

It is too late ! Or too soon , as you can also defoliate just before harvest.

Reveg/Budding issue
What is my plant doing? the days are almost 15 hours long so I don't understand why it's budding still, I expected it to reveg by now but no sign of rounded single leaves still. The days are getting longer not shorter, end of next month is when the days start getting shorter.

Yellow bottom leaves/brown spots on bottom leaves
Hi guys, So 4 or 5 bottom leaves of my 7thWeek autoflower looked like this and I ripped them off. Is that ok or did I harm her? Anyway, is that a Calcium def? Should I give her some CalMag? Could it be something else? Besides this, the general condition of the plant is good. Tx!

Weird discoloration, what is the issue?
I've noticed this discoloration on a leaf. It has slowly got larger over time. Any idea what it is? Will it ruin my grow? I'm pretty sure its not over/under feeding because its only on this leaf. Any ideas?

Anyone recognize this leaf mutation?
Anyone have any information about this leaf mutation? The leaves seem to overlap under each other. Not environmental issue, clones exhibit the same growth pattern. Besides the strange leaves and complete lack of stretch, the bud formation is looking really nice

The leaves are large and big but sooo thin! Burntips and little holes.
Does anyone know what could it be? Got a tipburn in one leaf and 2 others with extremely little holes, but didn't see any bugs or look-a-likes in my grow. Is it normal to the leaves be so thin? It's my first indoor don't know if indoor plants used to be like this.

Too late for another trimming ?
Show I do another trimming ? Most of the big upper leaves started having trychromes at their base so I am not sure if I should trim again at this stage. Currently in the 7/8th week. I already trimmed twice during vegetation and beggining of flowering.

Leaf color
What you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!

First flowering? - is it the right time? Also, 'claws' on the tip freshest leaves
Is this a first flower on BPP? I have no idea when to start with Bloom/Topmax, is this the right moment for this plant? Also, you can see the little 'claws' at the tip of freshest leaves, just on top. Is this caused by putting the light source too close? It was 40cm,now 47/18,5

Nutrient lock out hot soil question - stunting starts on 3rd set of leaves always?
I noticed that they always deteriorate when the third set of leaves are forming. If these are in fact stunted from the nutrient lock out due to hot soil, does it make sense that growth is vigorous until the 3rd set of leaves form?

Advice?
Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

browning leaves
Anybody have any idea on the cause of my leaves getting brown spots and curling at the tips? It's really just on the big mature leaves and leaves near the buds. Any smaller and younger leaves are still fine. Maybe a nutrient issue? Or is it just that its close to harvest time?
