So I’d like some different opinions on how to thin this girl out without giving up to much or to little before I put the net back down. Just wanting to see how everybody else would approach this and see if anybody comes up with something outside the box that I would never have c

Reduce leaves blocking light?
Jack Herer. Buds aren’t really fattening up. Leaves are a lot and kind of pointing down over the bud reducing light getting in. Week 7 of flower. Should i cut off some of the problem leaves blocking light at this stage?

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stage
The canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?

Pruning fan leaves
I'd appreciate any thoughts on when it would be OK to prune out just the mammoth fan leaves that shade the node spots lower down. They're like friggin' umbrellas. When, if it all, would it be safe to do so?

Kann evtl. jemand helfen ?
Hey everyone. This is my best friend's first grow. Things are going wrong, and I'm slowly running out of ideas. He had underground humidity levels for over 3 weeks at night, which already damaged the plants. Can anyone help?

My seedling has grown three nodes so far. Why does my plant only have one fan leaf with 3 leaves on the second node, and two fan leaves with 3 leaves on the third node? Shouldn't both the leaves on the second node have 3 leaves and both the leaves on the third node have 5 leaves

As a general rule, should I cut off fan leaves that show abnormal growth... for example the RG's curling upwards or wilting. Most of the new growth from all the clones in this diary are growing normally - so are the fan leaves showing damage of various sorts better removed?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
