Lollipopping Tall Lady
Growers, I am unsure if I should continue lollipopping this lady further up. I still have some bud sites that are around 30 inches away from the light source. I want to have dense nugs. Or should I chop the top section down and leave the bottom for a bit longer when it's time?

Can you put your plants into veg after one day of 12/12??
I accidentally left the timer on 12/12 in one of my tents I was supposed to flick it onto 18/6, If I revert it back to 18/16 quick after only one day of 12/12 will this do anything or just slow the veg process down?

Pro regular cultivators: How to select females?
Para los cultivadores de semillas regulares: Que recomiendas? Es mejor hacer esquejes y poner 12x12 para determinar el sexo o simplemente poner las mismas plantas a 12x12 y volver a vegetar? Antiguamente usaba el segundo método, pero aquí hay profesionales y quiero su opinión.

Watering practice okay?
When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

Is Revegging worth it?
Take a close look at the plant in the back left. This plant has had a heck of a journey. She was harvested back in December from some bagweed seed. If i had to guess its a kush strain. I think I will get more out of her this time around.. Cannabisius

Reducing PH idea
I live in an area where tap water has a ph of around 7.3. Is it detrimental to the plant reducing the ph (approx: 6.1 - 6.5) each time by using distilled vinegar or should i use another method?

Drying Best Practices?
Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?

Accidental cloning?
I did something stupid today call it a learning curve. But I trimmed a few fan leaves to open up for flowering and wasn’t looking and cut of a bud site. I put it in some soil with some water. Will that take root? Is that an accidental cloning?
