They look fine but in the future try to defoliate a couple days apart so you won’t stress the plant as much happy growing looks good 🍃🍃

Cutting leafAs you can see, one of the top leaf is covering light for side branches and I can't find a good way to avoid that by tying down the plant. I can't tie down the main top beacaue I don't want to damage the first signs of flowering. Can I cut that leaf or will it damageher too much?Techniques. LST

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!Week 3

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!Week 8

Looking for some advice on when to flush. Due to the temps here they only need water about every three days.
So far I have received the following advice from enough to make it look reasonable.
Flush begins at 25% amber hairs.
What do yall think on this strain?Week 6

Hi. 1st attempt at growing. I’m now on day 33 and all appears to be as it should. It’s been on 20 hours of light daily from seed and has begun initial flowering stage. Lovely !!
So, do I change the light to 12/12 now it’s begun to flower or just continue as I am ?
Thanks
