1stly. She's still in pre flower. Lolp is fine. But Defol is a no no. She's very thin and doesn't have a lot of foliage that can't be tucked or moved. Tbh, leave her be. Good luck

No you should not! The first 3 weeks flowering are the pre-flowering phase. During this phase the plants still grow and strech. After the pre-flowering you should not do any defoliation because the plants are only focussing on making buds now. Any type of stress would just decrease yield and does not benefit the plant at all.

Topping and LST (Not autos) I've topped before, but was wondering can you achieve the same yield just LSTing without topping, or is it best to do both? I know there's lots of info online but i feel more reassured listening to you guys lol, cheers

I know I said I'm out of grow space. But this plant is a complete bonsai I messed up good I think lol. If I keep her in veg?Quick question...could I turn this bad girl into a mother plant? If I keep her in veg and clone, plant her outside. Or make a grow tent just for her? The main stalk is twisted like hell and I'm continuing the pull around the pot...

Supercropping So I supercroped a few branches to keep canopy even. With 2 maybe 3 weeks left will that do anything for bud size and density? Anyone familiar with this technique?!? I tried it earlier on and definitely got more bud sites

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping. This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you! (Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)

HST at week 2.5 in flower?I’m roughly in between weeks 2-3 of flowering and was wondering if I can still high stress train at this point? Some of the tallest branches are within 6 inches of the light and I expect them to gain a few more inches even. Light is also at max height.
