started grow question 3y ago
I shed leaves and do a SUPER CROPPING plant on my marijuana plants in preparation for flowering. SHOULD IT OPEN TO 18/6 FOR 1 WEEK OR TAKE IT TO 12/12?

Canna is super resilient.. but I still give it a few days recovery. Not necessarily a full week but 3-4 days is good

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!

How to lollipop?
Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?

I'm going into flowering stage soon and was wondering about defoliation of the lower leaves after doing some LST - stretching out branches horizontally... Should I remove the lower leaves, focus on the bud sites access to light?

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage
These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.

I have this diaried for harvest 2nd week of August, based on breeder data (65-70 days flowering time). I turned to flowering light cycle 47 days ago. I read somewhere that breeder flowering time starts post stretch, so I added 14 days. Have I calculated this right?

Cut leaves and LST
Should I remove some off the bigger leaves or is it fine with them outdoors. And do I have to adjust the cables of the LST?

When you go to LST , is it easier to do this when the plant is more thirsty as the branches have more give? Also, do our work it until it “half breaks” or just get it to bend without it breaking inside? Does this make sense?

I've noticed some pistils starting to turn on the upper bud sites, see the last photo above. My question is, is this ok only 2 weeks in to flower, or have I burnt the pistils with feeding, or lights? It's my first grow, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks!!

In the last 2 pics from this week you can see #1 leaves "tacoing" I've read this indicates heat stress, but the lights are over a foot above, great airflow and surface temp is only 78°. What's the deal? @hso do these girls like cool climates??

Which pots to use? Considering the limited space here I could perhaps (A) put one of them in a 3 gallon pot and 2 in gallon pots but that might be a squeeze. (B) Each in a gallon pot and replant later into bigger pots when I move to my veg tent? I'm thinking A..what do you say?
