I would leave them as they are, they’re young and growing nicely they need those leaves for energy right now ☺️🌱

So this plant is in week 8 now, 50 days and still hasn’t formed any flowers- seems to be vegging forever. Light schedule is 20/4 - breeder says will flower at 18/6 - is it not going to flower because it’s getting too much light? Is this possible for an auto? Any advice? Thank you

There are several tops that are lower down than the main tops. Should I remove any of these, since they won't get as much light?

Should I harvest this plant in six days, or wait two more weeks? I’m away next week and I think I harvested my Polar Express a bit too early and don’t want to do that again. Now at Day 90. Outdoor grow with cool nights means it takes longer than Fast Buds says until harvest.

Hi guys. I’m a littel worried that they are very squished in there tent, I was not expecting them to grow so big. Is there anything I can do to help them, defoliation or a prune some branches. Or just let them keep doing there thing. Thanks 🤙

When to harvest? The pistil hairs are now starting to turn red(more so on 1) and I’ve begun looking at trichomes. More are cloudy than clear no real appearance of amber or red/brown in color. I have arbitrarily chosen day 80 as harvest because it falls on a weekend/no moon.

Late Defoliating or No?
Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all

Cut Branches in Flowering
When do you heavy defoliate your Autoflower? She's filled my grow box with some stretch yet, and wondering if I can hack some of the branches/leaves that will never see light. If so, what is your sweet spot in a 12 week strain?
