To prune or not to prune?
Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

Is it too late for more defoliation
Is it too late for more heavy defoliation? Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys

In the cover photo for this grow is the flower in mention. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this is. Its only this one flower out of 5 plants. It's on the plant which has mad genetics, if you look back through the grow you'll see this.

Any suggestions?
These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?

Just Stopped Stretch! - Gotta Do, What I Gotta Do?
Against protocol I have hacked on this plant in Week 8. Way branchy! I got into pruning a dozen long scraggly lower runners. I could take out another 12+ wimpy branches easy and open it up good bit for light/air - and then leave it alone? Much anticipated waste, so gamble?

Anyone had a pepper-y aroma in a pheno of something normally very tasty? The other plants are really quite nice, very Kush-y - had a few popcorn buds in the vape - but one has this really stinging black pepper aroma to it. Will this turn into something more pleasant with curing?

She just started flowering, do you think I should cut the leaves at the base of the stem? she is an autoflowering plant so maybe it would cause her too much stress? Thank you very much

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?

Tried my own thing on pruning. It's exploding. 4 main colas. 2 on the next node. Going to 4000w full spectrum led for flowering in another week. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. It's my first grow.

Switch to flowering
I did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?

Defoliating some more
I know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?

Late defoliation?
I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?
