It won’t hurt to remove what you know is going to turn out kinda weak and larfy at the bottom of the plant. It will also help push resources to the buds at the top. Hope that answers your question.

Do you pump music for your plants🎶🌱 I know there is some science behind this, but have you actually noticed any difference!? I've read they prefer classical or heavy metal 🤘

Can someone help
I know this might sound dumb but how do I probably check my pH levels. I’ve been checking it and it comes to 6.5 but I keep having problems like yellowing leaves and burning leaves and everyone keeps saying it’s a pH problem.

Preflower Faster, Finish Faster (Autos)
I am in final flush (DWC) of ILGM Zkittlez Auto, and finished almost a week early (topped at day 20). I have lab-style grow room/cabinet that maintains humidity, nutrients, etc. with little deviation to schedule/plan. Will an auto finish faster if it can get to preflower faster?

GRAFT TECHNIQUE QUEST!
So I discovered that grafting cannabis plants is possible and also very effective.. The only main reason I would try that is to grow some photoperiodic strain on an auto-base. But what would happen? Does anybody tried it? Please link some examples..
