I like to just lst autos. Too short of a veg cycle. And the light stress of pulling the top helps them terp up little extra 🤙🏻

Is Revegging worth it?
Take a close look at the plant in the back left. This plant has had a heck of a journey. She was harvested back in December from some bagweed seed. If i had to guess its a kush strain. I think I will get more out of her this time around.. Cannabisius

I've raised this plant with no training or pruning and she's growing like a champ. My question is is it too late or non beneficial to do any pruning at this stage. Also keep in mind I would not know what I'm doing aside from research and videos. Just don't want to harm her at all

Side lights ?
Would my plants benefit from these extra lights hanged to the side? Photos included of light and how they look. Above are two SF1000D lights. Curious if these will help the under growth or if it's just a waste? Thanks for any info anyone can share . Happy growing!

Off shoots stay or go away?
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

When to flip into flower?
currently midway through my 9th week of veg and am wondering when I should send plants into flower, should I double check sex first? (Feminized seeds) or wait until my screen fills out more? Plants are in 3 gallons pots and I worry that they might get rootbound if I veg Longer.

Should I use CO2?
CO2. Is it needed? I've got a CO2 bag, that I can pierce holes in and hang in my grow tent. This is my first ever grow. My aim is not, at this stage, to get the biggest buds. Simply to get ANY buds :) Should I use the CO2 on this initial grow? Will it make a difference?
