I just realized this freebie seed is feminized and not autoflower like the ones I purchased. I didnt use any growing methods to not stress out the plant. My question is should I start to low stress training or topping? Im going to 12/12 light cycle tonight.

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?
Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering. Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?

So I want to keep lollipoping these girls for 2 reasons 1) Keep pest/mildew issues down 2) grow some big dank nugz. Question: how high is too high to lollipop? Given these girls are already short, should I be a few nodes down from each top? Send mr your recommendation π

What do you guys think about watering 'em with sugarwater last weeks? It says it could enhance the trichome production and making it more frostier. Pure myth? Someone in this forum tried this out? Happy growing boys and girls, Cheers

I'm going into flowering stage soon and was wondering about defoliation of the lower leaves after doing some LST - stretching out branches horizontally... Should I remove the lower leaves, focus on the bud sites access to light?

Hey guys, compared to other grows in the week 8 stage, my plant looks quit small and stunted. Does anyone think I could have done something better? maybe I was too aggressive with training or defoliating. I was hoping to be flipped to flower by now.

Has anyone ever heard of a strain that gets stuck on Cloudy Trichs? I'm just a few days past the proposed harvest date yet, 1 & 1/2 weeks ago I noticed 10% Trichs turned amber but, all the rest seem stuck on cloudy. 95% of the pistols have turned red, fan leaves are dying/dead

How to lollipop?
Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3β below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?

Should I top plants outdoors? I'd imagine the sun would be powerful enough to penetrate an uneven canopy, however I don't have unlimited growspace, Depending on how tall these girls get they could very easily grow through the literal ceiling. Any thoughts?

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.

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?
Hi All, As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral. Thoughts?

I am running Fox Farm Coco Loco soil in this grow. What should my PH range be? The reason I am asking is I see a few successful grows with PH ranges in soil from 5.8 to 6.5 for Fastbuds strains. I am definitely confused as to what to keep my range at.
