If your not getting enough good air flow through the plant it may be advisable to remove them lowest leaves touching the soil.

Now is the time to clean them up. You can take a few leaves off that cover bud sites and will help with air flow.

Hey mate, You can but they will come off on their own. I'd just leave them. It wont cause any harm. Mine actually came off today coincidentally!

At what point should I cease Foliar Feeding or applying water via spray bottle. I am currently in week nine ad the description of this strain says it should be ready for harvest between weeks 8-10.
Approximately 20% of the pistils have turned orange as of today.Week 8

My plants do not match up with other Bangi Haze plants. These were two free promotional seeds i received from a seed bank . They seems to be a hybrid as far as i can tell. My question is did this happen to anyone else and do you know what seeds they could be?Week 6

What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.Week 9

Big leaves keep or not?Question for all the growers in here.
When I can cut those big fan leaves on my plant? According that this is an acceptable procedure.
My plant is still in veg with around 11 nodes.
It seems that those big leaves put in shade the side shoots, should I remove them or not?Techniques. Defoliation

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY2y ago
