Remove the 2 biggest fan leafs?

Hazebergstarted grow question 10mo 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%

Has anybody got any good ideas for a rain cover? Im thinkin some transparent plastic kinda thing. Maybe going over the plants with an angle so you have some runoff. it just has to be easy and affordable.. and the plants are pretty big too, im not expecting an easy task.

How do I get more control over flowering start outdoors? In my location, the 12 hours of darkness begins September 25th. 😎 The average chance of frost begins September 15. This year it was earlier. Should I grow auto-flowers outdoors?

It's my first time doing a manifold. I topped twice as per the Nebula method. These plants are built so low... Should I be defoliating the lower stuff more aggressively? How should I proceed at this point from a pruning/defoliating perspective?

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)

Gents/Ladies, Anyone got any ideas with what I should do with the cola that has stunted growth due to the stem being half broken? I managed to top it, just about... Was thinking if it doesn't decide to grow anymore in a weeks time, I could top the one next to it again?
