I know I am nearing the end of this journey, that started. Many months ago with some seedy weed. I also know I need to be patient, however should I partially harvest the larger plant? The smaller plant isn’t there yet as is the lower sections of the big plant, any views?

The GH label states that the nutrient solition should be changed weekly. That seems excessive. How can one tell that it's time to change the solution or just add to it?

My seedling in the red solo cup was knocked over and fell out! I immediately picked it back up and replanted it in the cup. I also added more soil and watered it soon after. Is there anything else I should do or is this seedling dead? Btw there was no physical damage to the plant

Defoliation/pruning guides
Is defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.

Pruning to minimize aphids during flower, yes or no?
I think I have aphids on one of my plants, and lots of vegetative growth so I’m thinking of doing a little pruning.Is this a good idea during flower? Any tips on HOW I should prune? I was generally scared of pruning throughout the grow, I don’t know what to leave and what to clip

I was wondering how healthy she is looking for day 8? I'm running a Promix Organic seedling starter to start as I heard Fox Farms is a bit "hot" for starting. Running X5 COB w/ real wattage of ~250W at 23". Light placement is my biggest concern.
