Do you think that I need to practice defoliation or let it grow as she is? Naw that she starts flowering shall I practice LST or just leave it like this?

It is better to practice LST when the stems are still flexibles so you can still do it but be carreful to not break the strem at his base ( it happens a lot with me for my late lst )
It's also better to practice defoliation during veg / 1st week of pre flower because in flowering she'll could nor recover from a hard defoliation. If you are planning to remove the leaves that are blocking light to lower budsite it's ok , if you air circulation is bad and your humidity is high then it's ok too as long as you'r not over doing it.

Spinnn hit the nail on the head. LST is supreme in this case. Try not to defoliate too much into the flowering stage, and LST could break hardened stems. Good luck!

What is your go to response when you see yellow tips on leaves 3 weeks into flower? I know the idea is to "dial back" the nutes but what exactly does that mean? Just water fresh water a couple of times in a row? Or drop PPM buy like 100 for a watering session?Week 10

First hydro. Is there anything I'm forgetting about ppm, maintaining pH from the resevoir, keeping rot from growing (non-issue with hydroguard right?) , etc? I plan on something for light, and change the jar and nutes if needed. Will let the roots breathe at the top.Canna->Lucas.Week 1

Apart from saving money on the electric bill or as a method of mitigating higher temperatures. what good reason is there to not grow autoflowering varieties on a 24 hour light cycle? With a limited time to get them finished up, why not be growing them on overdrive the whole time?Week 4

Just wondering if anyone has any tips based on what they’re seeing. Should I defoliate? I’m guessing another week or two before it’s at the height I’m aiming for, then I’ll switch to 12/12. I wish the fingers were spaced out more, I feel I didn’t bend them down enough earlier on.Week 10

This plant is behaving differently than my other plants (Northern Lights, and Somango XXL) in that it is stretching for a second time this late into flowering. I can notice it the most in the center colas, but also in the exterior ones. Is this normal? Does it want more light?Week 16
