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!

Is there any way I can prolong the veg stage to allow the pant to get a bit bigger. I was thinking if I topped her she will be forced to put out new growth but I have no idea if this is possible with auto flowers. Could this be detrimental to the plant? What should I do?Week 3

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.Week 9

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?Week 1

Hey guys, just a general question regarding my set up. Reason for trying these Six Shooter is mainly down to the potential big yeilds that FastBuds claim can be achieved. I'm looking for advise on a sure fire strain that can achieve big yeilds. Please hit me up with suggestions!Week 5

When a breeder quotes an estimated range for yield what assumptions do the make:
1. Is the quoted yield based on wet or dry weight
2. Is the range based on standard growth or do the high end numbers typically assume advanced training techniques, supplemental lighting etc.Week 5
