You guys think i should remove some leafs so that light will reach the buds? or shoudl let her grow and lose them naturallly? Buds are pretty hidden by a layer of leafs,not? Thank you in advance!

Remove or push aside if you can. Plant looks either top dry or too wet. Pretty droopy. Good luck with the grow 🌱🌱🌱

Yes you can plug off some big fans leaves covering the lower buds, just don’t strip it off totally .

Removing the lowest nodes growing on the side branches will also increase airflow and send nutrients to top bud sites.

Yes, you can remove leafs that are blocking main bud sites. It is still a form of stress, so just don’t go wild. Happy Growing!

Hey, was wondering if anyone had any advice about the Tarantula Nutrient from Advanced Nutrients. I just got it, a little late in the grow. I added it to the late two waterings and the plants look fine. I was just wondring what are some good ways to use it? It says 2ml per week..Week 7

Should I harvest next week-ish? My pistils and trichomes appear to indicate its almost ready. But my flower time is 6 of 10-11 weeks. I'm going to check next week and take another picture of the trichomes, but they're at the beginning of showing amber.Week 6

Hi my question is, does it look like Ahsoka has a nitrogen deficiency or is this normal for flower? It looks like she is yellowing from the newest growth down. Her middle growth is still a darker green. I have read that they use almost no nitrogen during flower. Any help is greatWeek 6

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!Week 4

I have been aggressively LST training throughout VEG and have done it twice since triggering flowering 7 days ago. SCROG. My question is how long into flowering do you typically continue to LST train before just allowing everything to just shoot up. Up to date Recent pics above.Week 8
