I would personally just tuck any leaves out the way. Unless you have humidity reasons. If it didnāt like it last time donāt do it again.

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?Week 1

The last figure shows the topping plan i'd pick for this round, but i didn't manage to grow my plants this way. Better luck next time! Only now i want to know, can anyone point me to a diary that shows a plant that actually is topped that way? Thank you very much. šWeek 13

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.2y ago

I reckon I should start to flush now for the next 2 weeks or so until harvest. Would you agree with this estimate, and is there anything critical I need to look out for at this stage? They're about to start their 5th and 6th week of flowering, respectively.Week 12

I want to do some controlled pollination but prevent pollen from blowing to other branches while doing it. Anybody ever tried mixing pollen with water and pouring that water over the buds. I also wonder if it could be frozen in this form if it works.Week 17
