If you are feeding, I would stop at this point and let the plant consume what's left in the soil and on its leaves, so to have a clear smoke. Two weeks left at most I think

What do you guys reckon how big they'd get - height, yield etc. - if I flipped them to 12/12 now at exactly 3 weeks? I'm of half a mind to give them another 2 or so, but at the same time I'm keen to see what they can do in 9 weeks total - I'd leave them topped once with 2 sides.

6 weeks and no sign of pistils... is my Dwarf only slow? Or is something wrong with her? Are the growth tips / bud sites look normal? Is the Dwarf a Lady at all?

Do i need to defoliate or is it alright for my plants to be this bushy? Just worried about airflow for the coming flowering period. If so, how do i do it? Ive heard of some people that just take off all vegetation up to a certain point in the plant

This is my first dutch bucket run and my reservoir pH is rising quite a bit daily. I pH down to 5.8 to 6.0 and within 24hrs it's back up to 6.6 6.7. Rinse and repeat. Is this normal or is something out of whack. I know pH will drift a little in a hydro system but this much?

Light defoliation?
Should I defoliate to open her up a lil bit? She is pretty bushy and some of the lower bud sites r not getting light. If I did I would do it very lightly, jus looking for advice and input plzz. Would it do more harm then good? I've read mixed opinions.

My growing experience is mainly with autoflowers and when it comes to breeders estimated flowering time for photo plants, when does it begin? If a breeder estimates 8 weeks, is that from 12/12 flip or from the appearance of flowers?

Defoliate/Prune or let it be?
Should I prune any of these leaves or just let it go au naturel? If so what should I prune? I’d hate to kill it by removing something I shouldn’t.
