I would leave it as it is. It honestly looks really good, I can see multiple bud sits thru the canopy so the light can too

Why would my PH level jump from 5.6-5.8 to 7+ in a 24 hour period? I leave for 2 days every weekend so no one to tend to my plants. I don't want to deal with a lock out.

I'm confused about what seems to be growing at the bud sites of my auto feminized plant. The white hairs suggest female plant to me, but the bulky lobes almost look like sacs of some sort. Can anyone maybe help identify what my problem is?

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.

How much time do I have left before I can harvest these ladies? Today is day 42 of flowering and according to Sensi, the flowering time is 45-50 days. Tomorrow I am going to start week 11 and I am wondering if I should start flushing the ladies or feed them for few more days.

Defoliation after LST (week 5)
After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?

Hey you fine horticulterists, another question thrown at you. When scouting online I've seen that some growers put their ladies thru a 24 hour dark period before harvesting. Is this something you do ? Is it required ? What are your preferences at harvest festival time ? 🕊️
