If I remove anything, it is while the girls are in transition, to slow their stretch some. Cheers

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage
These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

Switch to flowering
I did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips
I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

Seems on my last grow I must have had a hermie that I didn’t see. I have found a bunch of seeds so 👎. I did a quick clean of the tent before this round, but is there anything anyone would suggest before I have buds starting? Spray for foliage and or tent walls etc.

Hi everyone, I need some advice here. I am currently using a 200W dual spectrum CFL for Vegatation however I know that I will require a more powerful setup for flowering, if I want to get a good yield from all 3 plants. Can anyone tell me what would be better, HPS or LED?

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.

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?
I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎
