LST trim??

TheProfessorGrowsstarted grow question 3y 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.

I thought this would be flowering by now! Should I switch to 12-12 lighting hours Or should I just keep it at 24?

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more? This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.) I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

Remove more leaves or not Should I defoliate more and remove small buds, or is it better not to stress the plant during flowering? Also, why do the two plants on the right look so different? I didn’t do anything differently

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?

My seedling has grown three nodes so far. Why does my plant only have one fan leaf with 3 leaves on the second node, and two fan leaves with 3 leaves on the third node? Shouldn't both the leaves on the second node have 3 leaves and both the leaves on the third node have 5 leaves

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?

Curly young leaves (help)I have a little problem with the plants in my indoor (70x79x160 with 4 airpots each of 12 litres) since 2 days ago are decayed, 3 days ago (Friday) I changed the lamp mars hydro ts600 (100w) for a more powerful mars hydro Fc300 (300w) I do not know if it is the change of format, the power of the knob I left it at half that is in theory 150 watts of its total capacity 300w and at a height of about 40 CM. The next day (Saturday) I saw that they were the same so I proceeded to leave it at 40 degrees of power and I gave them biofish fertilizer to see if it was a question of hydration but today Sunday I realize that they are still the same. I don’t know if it’s the light intensity with the new lamp or that I over watered them 3 days ago on Thursday (I watered them with around 550ml of water per pot) and as I said before, when I saw them like that on Saturday I gave them biofish fertilizer, but nothing…

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light? I am in day 13 of flowering I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.
