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!

Hi everyone, anyone have any suggestions on when to put this little beauty into flower? I’ve never grown such a small plant and I’m not going for quantity here just quality. On one hand I’m thinking I could flower right now at 8 weeks but I also do not have experience mainlining.

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)

Just finished my first harvest and I was surprised that I ended with an ounce for my plant. I don't know if this is common? Please take a look at my plant before harvest, and see the size of the buds and what I ended up with. Maybe its too dry after 7 days hanging . Any tips?

Is that a male pre-flower on that 5th picture? You can see 2 nodes there, lower node and upper node. Upper node is showing female pre-flowers, but what is that wee thing on the right half of the lower node? It's the stalk-y thing that confuses me.
