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!

One of my plants has something going on with it. Cbd Tonic #1 has a couple bluish leafs, and some purplish red petioles most are still green. I think it may need some phosphorous or a micro nutrient. Also the two main top also has this weird wrinkle, other tops are a bit bluish

ScrOG / Lollipopping / Defoliation
I'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation. I would love to get some feedback! - What I should bear in mind? - Does my setup look suitable? - When should I start with what? - Any good resources?

Hi fellow growers! From the pictures of this week, when do you think the pineapple and Critical should be ready for harvest? I’ve been checking the trichomes with a scope, I’m just finding it tricky to tell. They seem to be getting more dense daily right now so I’m being patient

We’re using all living soil rich with castings, mycorrhizae, sea compost and gaia green 4-4-4. We’ve only been feeding water but just wondering is anyone nutrient feeds on top of using living soil?

Autoflower defoliation question
Did some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

As these plants are entering flower stage should I defoliate more heavily? I am afraid to remove too many fan leaves as I don’t want to impact growth. I did some very light defoliation and it was well tolerated. Any advise?

So my plants have to be alone for a week at my window so they got some darkness at night time. Some 4-5h it's not total there's lights on the balcony etc. Do you think these stressed so bad that I should think about starting over for avoiding hermies.. thanks!

Should I cut off leaves or not?
Hi everybody, I’m new here! I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off. What do you think? Thank u very much.
