To trim or not to trim this bushy Hindu Kush bi chWhat could or should I do regarding trimming at this stage? Removing lower leaves or upper? My concern is that while healthy it is very dense, nodes are tight, and I think this might impact yield. 3ft would be my max height (6ft tent), and I will likely flip wk 7/8. Thank you!Week 5

Did I remove too much growth?Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves.
She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy.

Need some advice please. The pistols are 20 to 30 percent brownish. But the trichomes are still clear to cloudy, no amber. Almost a third of the pistols are still all white with clear trichomes. I want to get her to max THC. Should I let her keep growing?Week 12

Off shoots stay or go away?Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST9mo ago

Hello there,
is there someone who have already used the Advanced nutrients in order to give me some advice about the daily dosage, particularly upon autoflowering sativa strain?
Moreover, with high room temperature (about 30° C) how often is it recommended to water daily? ThanksWeek 1
