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

Panowie i Panie jak myślicie przyciąć delikatnie liście by odsłonić dolna partie wzrostu? Dzień 36. Jak narazie nie widać żadnych deficytów ani przenawożenia. Może podpowiecie mi co zrobić też by zmaksymalizować plon. Bardzo będę wdzięczny za każdą odpowiedź.

I have nine plants grown from seed and one is behind in flowering. They are all in the same tent with the same nutrient. For a couple of weeks into 12/12 she showed no signs. Now she is flowering normally, just way behind the others in development. What gives?

Bananas are forming on the top of my buds. I am aiming for 50% cloudy 50% amber. Should I pluck the bananas off? Let them be? How would anyone else go about this?

Plant A in the above pics has distinct yellowing of the leaves despite correct ph range of nutrient solution any ideas of problem/solution And is the same age as her sister who is well into flower. Remembering she's an auto would putting her in 24 hours darkness make her flower?😬

Cutting fan leaves
Just cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?

SCROG in 2.5 weeks Flower - Thin out the canopy or not?
Its my first SCROG grow. I am 19 days into flower and there is still a tiny bit of stretch still. Should I thin out the canopy or leave it alone and let it finish as-is? I don't want to stunt their bud development. What do you think, are they too crowded?
