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 🙏💚

Hey mates ! I’ve got a little problem with my reflector. As you can see on my last pic, the CFL lamp is pointing down, it seems that the reflector isn’t strong enough to handle the weight of the lamp. Can you guys help me ? What can I do to get my lamp straight ? Thanks 🙏Week 1

Hello everyone, I know that it’s not a great thing to do but I need to grow this autoflowering G14 as fast as possible (because I’ll be resettling in another country soon). So I was wondering if you people had any tips for growing fast (appart from having great lights and using great nutrients). Especially :
- do you think that keeping the plant in a 1L pot will speed up the flowering time ?
- what should I choose between LSTing, toping, Fi-ming and natural shape to go as fast as possible ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers and good luck for your grows ! 🍁Week 1

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? OutdoHigh, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.Setup.
