Should the first tiny node be removed?
einamiostarted grow question a month ago
Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

I ALWAYS remove the first node, the one closest to the ground as it/they never really do much.
You can safely remove them, your plant will not notice it or be harmed in any way by doing so.
I take them off as soon as they are big enough to handle, leaving them too long may be more upsetting to the plant than early removal.

My first suggestion for you would be to remove them this time.
My second suggestion would be to LST your plant the next grow. By doing this you will have better yield. To but it in perspective, my first node was actually my biggest cola. You can see this on my Banana Purple Punch Auto diary.

I don’t personally keep the first node of any plant. To me it’s just so low that any of those branches are going to get drowned out by the rest of the plant. Also give a bit more clearance for watering by removing it.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine.
Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow?
Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

Excessive streching, or is it normal?Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?

Can I let them grow like this?Hi,
my grow tent is getting a little bit small.
do you guys think I can let them roll like this? is this still okayish environment?
The alternative would be to take one out and let the other grow in peace…
Thanks for helping!

Good timing or terrible decision?Hey everyone,
my 60×60×180 tent was getting packed. In order not to take my Tropicana Cookies Auto out, I tried to lollipop it.
Do you guys think it has a chance to produce some decent buds on top or did I ruin the plant?
It’s day 30, I’d say pre flower?

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.

Is she small? Or normalMaybe overthinking but is she small for the 10 days shes been above ground?
On my first grow before this one, I remember seedlings being very tall/stretchy, I used a propagator then transplanted to pot, they ended up being 1.4M Tall (Northern Lights).
