I wouldn't cut nothing now your plants looking very good and healthy, just go on this way. The yield gonna not get more just the buds gonna get fatter and you got less popcorn buds. But you're in Flower now I wouldnt stress her so much. Just defolate her when she gets to bushy. That's my opinion, but don't know maybe heres someone with more experience to get another option. 👍

Silica additive Has anyone noticed a true difference in yields/health with an addition of a silica compound to the soil medium? Unsure if I want to try it on this grow, but am open to comments/recommendations.

Don't plan on topping. Someone want to talk me into it? Just weigh out some pros and cons; and I'll pick the most informative and relevant answer, and maybe even change my mind. 😄👍

Removing popcorns There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

Defoliate or not Should I defoliate? :-) I see at least one reason already - there's not so much space, no sub lighting and lower branches are blocked from light.

Blue Dream Doesn't grow unfortunately my blue dream has almost stopped its growth, in recent days it was dark green, now the tips of the leaves have cleared (including cotyledons). For now I have irrigated only with water (biobizz light mix), the seed took 6 days to germinate (jiffy); I can't understand

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.
