Yeah i would, you got plenty there, may aswell open up some canopy and let some more light on the stems

I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

What is your go to response when you see yellow tips on leaves 3 weeks into flower? I know the idea is to "dial back" the nutes but what exactly does that mean? Just water fresh water a couple of times in a row? Or drop PPM buy like 100 for a watering session?Week 10

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.

Nutrients Uptake Issue2nd grow, Black Orchid & Purple Punch autos in 13L pots, week 9, short & slow. 18/6 TS1000. LST went wrong, defoliation once a week. Soil surface dry, pots heavy. VPD ok. Feeding on 3-day cycle:
Flower nutes + molasses
Nutes + PK + CalMag
Nutes + silica
Water uptake dropped—why?

Autoflower foliage trimHey all, im on my 4th week of flower (kind of stunted my grow in veg a bit so she stayed in veg for longer)
I wanted to do some defoliation of the bottom third of my plant but im afraid since shes an auto she will halt bud growth because of defoliation
Thoughts?

We were planning on using FOX Farm trio (Big Bloom , Grow Big(liquid plant version) and Tiger Bloom as nutrients but found out that they might not be a good idea in mix with Canna Coco Pro medium. Do you think we should change to other nutrients like Canna ones?Week 1

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?

I'm getting mixed messages related to RH and seedlings. Some people (and websites) say it should be between 45% to 60% during this stage but others say I should keep it over 60%. I know the roots are not very developed right now but.. what's the real number than I should aim for?Week 1

If the seed supplier says "flower 9 weeks" and everything I read suggests 60 days in flower, are they referring to 60-63 days past switching to 12/12 lighting or are they suggesting 60-63 days beyond the first visible bud, or hairs, or what? IC a mix of amber, cloud, and clear.Week 17
