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!

Flowering Defoliation QuestionHey All,
I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

Now I’m familiar with using Rockwool cubes and air pruning roots in cubes but well I don’t know if it’s me being impatient but the roots don’t seem to be taking to the Rockwool cube. Now I’m thinking they have transplant shock from being put under 600w light or transplant to cubeWeek 3

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.

Curing and drying tips or info please!
I’m currently trimming fans then hang drying for 7-10 days at 45-60 Rh temps 23-25. Then curing in jars. Once my ideal humidity (IMO) is reached do I still burp the jars? Or will they get funkier sitting closed? Last question of the diary!Week 17

Defoliation of all large fan leavesWhen defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase?
Any links that include pics would be appreciated.
Thanks to all of youWeek 5

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)
