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 bluishWeek 9

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?3y ago

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys.
A beginner question here.
Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom.
If I have to cut them when would be the best time?
I'll leave this question open until Friday.Week 4
