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!

I have a pretty decent heat wave stretch coming my way late next week after the 4th. What’s the best way to protect an outdoor crop in full sun during a heatwave? Obviously the easiest way would be to move it, (she’s in a container) but I have a tarp on hand as well.Week 6

For a lightcycle of 12h total.

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

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

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically.
I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. ThanksWeek 9

Hello there. Thank you for your answers im learning alot 🔥. Im hoping to give back.
My question is:
- which weeks do you recommend lollypoping and defoliating?
I read that end of week 2 flower lollypoping since it has grew already and the braches have been defined.
