My light is an LED sitting around 8.66inch (22cm) above my plants. The light is cool and no excess heat is reaching the plants, but is this still too low?

Is it normal to have different flowering times on occasion within the same strain? I believe yes as I have one that just grew one tall branch. So it focused on flowering sooner as it expended less energy on vegetation. She will be ready to harvest 3-4 weeks sooner than her sis.

I was really careful when defoliating so far and the plant is really bushy now. Should I remove big leaves blocking lower colas for more light penetration at this stage, or should I wait for stretching to end?

Harvest questions.
Hello, I wanted to know if these look like they are ready for harvest or should I wait. The say it's ready when the pistels are milky white and amber but some of them aren't fully developed. Do I wait till those develop or when the majority are mature? Thanks in advance! 8wks old

Week 8 of flower I lowered the CO2 to 1200ppm and planning to lower it 50ppm every day until I hit 800PPM. Should I keep 800PPM for week 9 and 10 or should I cut it completely? Should I lower the light intensity for the last 2 weeks since I lower the CO2 levels?

question or two in one. When should I start pruning and when should I top? I have been seeing topping should be at 3rd node? Anyone tried that? And how about trimming the leaves up? Should I snip the first set, the two single true leaves? Wait a while longer?

I don't have a good magnifier to check the pistils. Can you tell by the curling of them if it is ready to harvest?

I started the light off close to the plants and have been raising it up as they grow to prevent light burn - is that the general idea or am I doing it backwards?
