Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest ...

Go ahead and cut the lowest branches. They they will amount to nothing and the airflow will improve, reducing the risk of mold. Also less tops mean they will be bigger

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.Week 10

so I accidentally re-vegged some plants, I had my timer set incorrect, I am curious what I should expect...I swapped them back to 12/12 immediately after I noticed. I believe my timer was messed up from about week 2 to 4, will they still mature but just take a few extra weeks?Week 14

Please see April 3rd photo and weekly update comment. Considering snipping the lowest 2 growth tips early in an effort to focus more energy higher up the plant. This is an auto specific question and I will be doing lst regardless. All thoughts welcome👊Week 3

As you can see in the pictures, the grow tent is super packed and full of green. Its the beginning of week 5 of flower and one of my concerns is the light not penetrating through the top. Should I defoliate or trim large fan leaves to thin it out or just let it grow?Week 4

I started this grow with 2x2x4 with a 350 watt LED and moved everything in to a new 3x3x6 with a 600 watt LED. Shortly after transition to flower I added my old LED thinking this would provide additional canopy penetration. Is this worth it or is it over kill?Week 7
