LST trim??
TheProfessorGrows
started grow question 4y ago
Things are getting a bit cramped with my LST. Some fan leaves are buried under others or are on the ground. Should I trim some lower fan leaves to give it room to breathe? Or should I let it rock as long as they are not blocking any light?

Yea, go ahead and do some defoliation so the plant can breathe, it won't hurt it at all, just don't take too much off.

Sticky resinous leaves
My Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.

Tagliare?
I don't know if I should cut the two largest fan leaves, because they cover all the lower branches being compact? Should I cut them or wait? Keep in mind that in a week I'll set the timer to 12/12.

What to do with veg?
The plant is one and a half weeks into a 12/12 light cycle. The foilage has grown like crazy in the last week and I'd like to trim it back but I don't know if I should. I had planned on stripping most fan leaves on the 20th day of flower.

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help
Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Bushy Genetics
How do you deal with a genetically bushy strain, especially if you plan to ScrOG? Do you knuckle up all nodes but the tips, then LST? Or let him grow and give him time? (My OG Kush needs some advice)

Excessive leaf growth during flowering
I am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8. The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?
