flowering fem lollipopping?
First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.

Hello everyone, some general questions...When you harvest, do you cut the whole plant? or depends on maturity, first cut one half and then the other? At the time of drying...what do you think is better: hanging the whole plant (having manicured before) or hanging the branches? ty

Should I defoliate that 8-top Critical (the bigger of the two plants in 9L pots)? I feel it's getting very bushy and leaves getting in the way of light for bud sites. How would you go about defoliating it?

Hi guys! I would know if it is good to bring down the leaf (I mean, if is good for the plant, so the light of the lamp can reach also the inside of the plant) or if i have to do it in another way Thnx for the answer 🙏🏻

I have 2 seedlings in FFOF that are 2 weeks old and struggling! I might have overwatered and caused nute lock? They are green, just not growing. Their sister in expert gardener is on the same water schedule and is double the size. Do I just let them get bone dry and then flush?

I’m stuck between giving Forum Stomper one more feed or starting the flush, any advice? Most trichomes are milky, some are amber on leaves.

Any advice on a possible watering schedule would be highly appreciated. At this time I have difficulty telling the difference between over and under watering symptoms.

When doing defoilation I teilled off all the fan leaves except four at each top. My question is how much of the other branches should I trim off too? Also, should you trim a bit at a time so there is not much shock or everything at once? Any advice is appreciated. Cheers.

Trimming in flower?
Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.

In the last 2 pics from this week you can see #1 leaves "tacoing" I've read this indicates heat stress, but the lights are over a foot above, great airflow and surface temp is only 78°. What's the deal? @hso do these girls like cool climates??

Without knowing much about the DNA. my plants are roughly 14-16 inches flipping them now most have at least 6 tops or more. Curious if anyone can guess what the yield would be this early?? Using 2 450w led in my 3x3 tent.
