Hazeberg
started grow question 1y ago
I'm thinking about to remove the 2 huge top leafs to give more light to the lower branches. What would you suggest? Keep them or remove them?

every flower should get as much light as possible. if lst is not possible, defoliating sounds like a good next step. I would try to tuck the leaves under the branches, if not possible i would cut 'em off 100%

I would 100% keep them you want to get as much sunlight as possible you could remove the leaves that don't get light

Can anyone spot (if possible yet) by this last pictures if it’s a male or female? Looks like a “drop” shaped pre flower but I don’t know if it is a pre flower or new sprout with leafs. I’m having a lot of ramifications on this one and saw this happening on other areas.

Bigger stardawg hermed so I took the male bananas and put them in a bag because I know they contain pollen. What would be the best actions to take to just play around. If I backcross the pollen to the same strain will I create S1 seeds?

Too much trimming up top?
I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?

Seem to be having overwatering issues - moving forward I’ll definitely wait a little longer before adding more water, but anything that I can do at this point to try and improve things? Or is it just a wait it out scenario? Any insight would be appreciated.
