Why would you want to remove anything? Don’t mess with it. Put your scissors away. She’s doing her thing. Good luck 🤙

Hi, thanks for taking a look at my second grow. My question is, does anyone have any recommendations on what I can use in addition to the GHE trio nutes that I am already using with the goal to making bigger and better buds? Thank you,

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?
I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

I was rotating the plants, a little ocd action and accidentally supper cropped a cola. Seems to be doing ok and not worried about it. My question is this ok to do deliberately in flower and increase yeild or should it be avoided after a certain amount of weeks into flower?

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?
After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST. Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)

In preperation for a long warm med summer, I'd like to finally grow a BIG tree oustide where she belongs :) what strains would you recommend for as discreet smell as possible? Big trees smell but I've heard rumors of unique scents that aren't as easily recognizable.

When I checked the run off from this weeks watering - PH was 7.6 and TDS was reading 1975ppm. I had added Dolomite Lime to the soil as some had recommended. Could this cause the high PH levels? Any suggestions on how to bring it down? Worried about nutrient lockout. Thanks!

Flowering Defoliation Question
Hey All, I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

Q1: I did a slight bit of “lillipopping”, cutting lower sun leaves and small energy wasting budsites. Along with this and slight bits of LST at this stage will it effect bud density for the better or worse? Q2: would a larger space now be worth the effort (1.5x1.5x2m tent)?Thanks

Are the girls ready for flower??
Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?
