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.

Autos: Training or not?
So, I want to know your opnions on Auto training. So far I´ve done only LST to my girls, but I see a lot of people doing topping, mainlining, this stuff that I´m afraid of when it comes to autos. And lately I´ve grown a plant without training as she´s fire compared to the trained

Moisture meter?
I know a lot of things say stick your finger in the first few inches of soil to see if it's dry. Does anyone use the green moisture meter? If so what number do you use as a reference?

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.

How to optimize Outdoor Autoflower Yield?
Question for the crowd - in an outside grow where vertical space isn't an issue, what's the best method to optimize yields for autoflowers? Topping seems out of the question given the nature of autoflowers, and I'm not sure what benefits LST would really give.

Can I leave my plant growing in this 90 degree angle after accidentally snapping her stem?
Can I leave my plant growing like this? I can either set her back up completely or leave it at a about 90 degree angle if that doesn’t kill her off! Would give the rest more light. I accidentally snapped her but not completely. (Sorry couldn’t update my previous question)

Watering practice okay?
When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

What next for these clones?
I have always mainlined or done some sort of LST with clones. This time I've let them grow out, but dunno what to do now. What should my next steps be to maximise the amount of bud I can pull off each plant? Do I leave the clone to grow wild (I have the space for it)?
