Light penetration is good enough outdoor, so there less point doing it than indoor where light penetration quickly decrease.

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?
Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds? Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Buds. Not fattening

Still a relative noob, so please excuse my ignorance. What fertilizer is good for the full cycle (veg, flower, bloom) that is easily available and not outrageously priced? Using a peat/sphagnum mix, virgin soil.... Thanks in advance!

6 weeks and no sign of pistils... is my Dwarf only slow? Or is something wrong with her? Are the growth tips / bud sites look normal? Is the Dwarf a Lady at all?

Extreme defoliation
Hi everyone, I practiced extreme defoliation during the 3rd week of flowering, can you give me any advice? Can the plants be blocked? These are some photos of the defoliation.

When does everyone like to transplant? I've transplanted autos before, but never a photo period before. I know pretty much when to do it, just want an opinion from someone else.

Does anybody put here has grown this strain? How much more growing can I expect from her? This is my first scrog grow and I'm getting nervous about her stretch! I'm trying to get 6 inches above the net. You see this possible or am I dreaming?

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 flowering
I flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?

How often you all recommend feeding bud enhancers? I’m use Advanced Nutrients Big Bud & Bud Candy and I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to use it with my waterings, too, rather than just when I feed. Been dosing those full strength but only feed Sensi A/B half dose 1X/week.

Hey fellow growers please help What do you think about the K1 an K2? Should I give it a few more days before harvest or should I chop them now? Or maybe just the K1 for now as it looks more mature, let me know thanks

How do you know or choose the right Ec for each phase of the plant? or how much to raise it in each irrigation? My range is usually from 0.2 to 1.2 ... it depends on the strain. Do you think it is more important to know the strain than to follow a table of nutes? Thank you!

I'm about to finish week 8 of flower and one of my plants has hermied. Should I finish out week 9 before harvest or should I chop it now? Trichomes are all cloudy with only a few amber ones.
