De momento no quitaria nada, cuando se hagan mas grandes puedes empezar a defoliar las hojas que tapen los cogollos, y luego puedes quitar tambien algunas hojas de la parte inferior que esten a la sombra para que tu planta respire mejor. Los cogollos que estan en la parte inferior y que no reciben nada de luz los llamados Popcorn buds tambien los puedes ir eliminando

Lollipop would be removing unwanted side shoots and leaves from the bottom of where your main buds are going to be without overdoing it for a maximum yield of bigger buds. You need to do just that. From your picture they look fine the way they are. I’m not one to recommend defoliation, but I do support removing side shoots for bigger main buds.

Accidentally super cropped my auto Hello, I've accidentally snapped the main branch while doing some LST which resulted in an unwanted super crop. It's a Northern Lights auto and I'm worried it won't recover since it's already in flower. What do you guys think will the plant recover?

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining: Is there any difference or what would be preferred between: Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍

Broke Stem branch while main-lining Now it's standing straight up to heal It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect? Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining? Should I just release the other branch? Or wait until it's healed and continue? Thanks for your tips and inputs!

Defficiency or light burn?I Had this on my previous plants, I'm starting to think it is light related as it seems to happen to the leaves closest to my mars hydro. I wonder what would be the best course of action here? Ive added a tiny dose of calmag, can I supercrop this late into flower?

Cosa posso fare??aiutoooo!!Durante il supercropping mi è capitato di aprire una ferita nel fusto principale dove ho subito riallacciato la parte penzolante con lo scotch. Ho paura che non si riprenda più o che il supercropping non funzioni. Qualche consiglio?? La pianta è molto floscia.

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping. This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)
