Thinning out and topping before lst

Qpalzmstarted grow question 4y ago

New grower Was advised to thin the plants out and top for a 2nd time. Have I taken enough leaves off? 18 days since germination now. Once the new stems have grown I lst ? Last photo is before removing leaves and topping. Thanks to all who have pointed in the right direction too.

Pots are same. You still troll us. Sad that plants went sick. This harvest is wasted, but had best start I ever witnessed.

Also the photo before is in small pots. Went into final pots today. I wanted to give them a few days to recover before repotting.

Thanks for the advice. Not autos I'll leave them be now I've got a lot of new stems showing 20 -26 On all plants. That's 20-26 possible bud sites?

Yeah I dunno what to tell you except I agree with mouse.. I wouldn’t have advised to remove that much, or any at all.. so I’d follow up with whoever did and see what the plan was there

Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?
