I can prune something ?
Organomananswered grow question 4y ago
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
It is that simple!
So, no, definitely do not cut off any leaves, it will slow development, not speed it up.
Your plant needs at least 14 hours of light, however, 18 light, 6 darkness is the optimal lighting schedule for cannabis in vegetative growth.
Her current schedule of 11 hours of light is barely sufficient to sustain life.
She will also need a much larger container for good root growth.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

Dont cut anything. Your plant needs those leaves as energy.

Verrouillage des nutriments ? Quantité d’eau ?Les plantes ne semblent pas aller bien. J’ai une décoloration sur les bouts des feuilles et sur certaines, les feuilles pointent vers le bas, elles ne stretchent presque pas, je pense à un Nutrient lockout, qu’en pensez-vous ?
Quelle quantité d’eau devrais-je arroser à 33 jours ?5y ago

Plant too small/ Flowered too early?Surprised to see this little runt flower so beautifully when shes so short and stumpy.
Anyone know potentially how much bigger she can get?? Shes about 10cm tall but so far has by volume most flowers on it.
Could this be an autoflower or a stunted dwarf that flowered Early?5y ago

Why is my plant growing extremely slowly?This is my first Propperty grow and the photo is after almost 4 weeks of growth, I’ve been giving nutes in reasonable doses and the first 2 and a half weeks was mostly cloudy and rainy but since then it’s been sunny, did the cloudy start affect it that much? And what should I do?Plant. Too short

Do Autoflowers double in height upon flowering?Should I expect this autoflowering strain to double in height once it begins to flower? I'm a little surprised that it has not flowered already, but I'm also really happy that it's taking a bit longer. Curious what you think!?Week 4

SOG in a 3x3I have 5 plants that germinated in my 3x3. 5 gallon pots. I plan on trying SOG method. I wasn’t expecting all five to germinate because couple of the seeds did not look healthy. 2 of the 5 look less healthy now. Should I kill the two runts now and just plant more next month?Plant.

Need tips/help with very very bushy plantPotted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them.
