I would personally just tuck any leaves out the way. Unless you have humidity reasons. If it didn’t like it last time don’t do it again.

How much of a difference does adding CO2 make to your yield? Is it worth the added cost and effort per gram of finished cured flower? Or is it only worth it if you have a full time commercial scale grow with full control of your grow environment?

Has anyone ever heard of a strain that gets stuck on Cloudy Trichs? I'm just a few days past the proposed harvest date yet, 1 & 1/2 weeks ago I noticed 10% Trichs turned amber but, all the rest seem stuck on cloudy. 95% of the pistols have turned red, fan leaves are dying/dead

Is it normal for a plant to start preflowering 3 days after flipping to 12/12? Or have I hermied them? The plants had a 4 week veg, and a little topping. I also had a male in the tent in the last grow, but cleaned the tent thoroughly. Do you think pollen could still be there? 😀

I would like to remove some of the leaves from my plant, but I don't know which leaves I can safely remove and which ones should stay on. I would really appreciate your help!

Defoliate or not ?
Do I need to defoliate her harder ? I Think some of the buds are blocking the sun out of others, I am afraid the buds won't be fat. I am also afraid if I defoliate wrongly she could lose a lot of photosynthesis. What do you guys think ? I should try to lst her down a lot more

In preperation for a long warm med summer, I'd like to finally grow a BIG tree oustide where she belongs :) what strains would you recommend for as discreet smell as possible? Big trees smell but I've heard rumors of unique scents that aren't as easily recognizable.

I just realized this freebie seed is feminized and not autoflower like the ones I purchased. I didnt use any growing methods to not stress out the plant. My question is should I start to low stress training or topping? Im going to 12/12 light cycle tonight.

Question…During drying and curing. With winter I’m using gas for heat, which drops my humidity. Does any one dry less than 7 days before jarring it up? or dry it in paper bags before curing? should I just get a humidifier for when I dry, if so will I have mold ?

I’ve been watering with rain water collected from my water butt in the garden. What’s people’s thoughts on rainwater as opposed to tap water? Mother nature’s water seems like a good idea to me?

Pruning lowest nodes?
Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage? They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites. Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.

Hey mates ! I’ve got a little problem with my reflector. As you can see on my last pic, the CFL lamp is pointing down, it seems that the reflector isn’t strong enough to handle the weight of the lamp. Can you guys help me ? What can I do to get my lamp straight ? Thanks 🙏

The medium that I have the plants in contains no nutritional value. With that being said I do plan on transplanting into roots origanal soil. When would it be a good time to transplant/feed them?

Is it ok to align the plants the way I did it? I just thought they could fill more space and be more comfortable that way. What do you think? Or is it better to put them all in the same direction?
