I would do mote of a selection trimming and pruning. You go too much and will change your results for less yield

It's totally up to you lots of growers strip the bottom smaller branches off it will ensure everything is getting to the bigger buds rather than the plant using energy on the lower smaller buds also remove any leaves blocking out light 🙏💚

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?

Since this is my first time with topping and LST, it would be nice to have some feedback/comment from other growers. I'm wondering when i can switch to 12/12: I'd like to do this ASAP since the temperatures will raise a lot in summer (i expect 30°C in the end of june)

Okay, she’s compact with tight inter nodal spacing - I’m thinking of fluxing this lady! I’m nervous because I don’t want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? I’ll consider mainlining instead!

Breeder says harvest at 70days,latest pics up are day 64 - sure she won’t be ready in a week.thinking of only starting flushing in a week then harvesting two weeks after that depending on trichomes which are clear at the moment. Why do you all think?

This is my first auto and considering there is recommended 2 weeks left is she in a good position for a decent yield? I’ve heard 1-2 oz is normal for an auto but I can’t even dream of these buds getting that big over the next few weeks. Should I have stayed at 18/6 to perform btr

I havent defoliated before because im afraid of cutting essential leaves (since i have read that some leaves are like veins of the MJ tree and they should be kept). How do i know which leaves i should cut and which ones i should leave?

I feel like the fan in my tent isn't working, when I plug it there is a vibration meaning it turns on but the fan isn't actually moving and no air circulating, what do you think I should do?

Indoor growers, what's your favorite node to top? 😊 Do you prefer topping above the 2nd node for 4 big colas ("uncle ben method"), or the 3rd, 4th, ..., for a bushier plant? . Please share your opinion if you have tried some methods 👍

I’ve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community. I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6? After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.
