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

Any guesses on how long to harvest. I'm starting to see some gold trichomes glistening in the sunlight, but definitely less than 1%. A good chunch of the calyxes from the side branches are swelling and pistils changing orange, main cola still mostly white pistils.Week 8

Tops spacingMy plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?Week 7

Removing big fan leavesLast night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?Week 13

When a breeder quotes an estimated range for yield what assumptions do the make:
1. Is the quoted yield based on wet or dry weight
2. Is the range based on standard growth or do the high end numbers typically assume advanced training techniques, supplemental lighting etc.Week 5

LED lighting makes badly colored pictures. Used to take my pots out of the tent, but my new watering system makes that a mess. My shop drop-light makes the leaves a weird light green. What type of lighting do you use for in-tent shots? Best answer to a cheap light but great pics.Week 3
