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 🙏💚

How much light stress can a plant take? I had a blackout for about an hour this week and now I'm worried that my girl will hermie on me. Should I be worried or does it take a lot more stress to turn a girl into a hermie?

My dark devil auto has just started to flower, not even a full week in yet. I have it planted in a 13” terra cotta pot (~2-2.5gallon) and there are a couple roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. Should I attempt to transplant into a bigger pot or is there anything I can do?

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day

What is your go to response when you see yellow tips on leaves 3 weeks into flower? I know the idea is to "dial back" the nutes but what exactly does that mean? Just water fresh water a couple of times in a row? Or drop PPM buy like 100 for a watering session?
