I do so. " when I think she's almost ready, when any bullshit you can commit can no longer do damage, start to pluck away fan and sugar leaves " I much prefer to pluck 2/3 leaves a day continuously.

What would be the most efficient light for a single plant indoor grow? My hope is to have one plant sustained through winter months and outdoor grow each summer. I've been to a number of sites and advice varies, so I thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks in advance.Week 8

Remove or not new branchesHi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary).
Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure?
My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation

I started this grow with 2x2x4 with a 350 watt LED and moved everything in to a new 3x3x6 with a 600 watt LED. Shortly after transition to flower I added my old LED thinking this would provide additional canopy penetration. Is this worth it or is it over kill?Week 7

The question is do I defoliate the outdoor plants?
I figure outdoor should be the same as indoor and it should work. I also know the sun is extremely hot and maybe keeping the fan leaves is better. I have a plant starting budding and wonder if I should

Based on the dreadful pictures I have, does anyone agree she is ready to be cut? Will have to trust me when I say there seems to be the majority of trichomes either cloudy or amber.
I know the leaves are bad looking, I think she got too hot for a few days when I went away :(Week 11

Defoliation in flowering stageNow that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches?
Thanks again, all help is appreciated.Techniques. Defoliation

LollipoppingThe plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?
