started grow question 6y ago
Upon the start of week six, I have noticed some bud sites... Is it ok to trim off the huge fan leaves to allow more light to get through?

Yes a long as you’re not stripping her down. If the stems are still flexible enough you could consider LST. But be aware that some plants could not react positively to the stress and it could delay the harvest

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)
I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

Has anyone used the Phlizon COB LED 3000W (629W) ? the company states to keep LED lights on at 30-40 inch. and only to use COBS in heavy veg/flowering when the plant is strong. does it make sense to use both COBs and LEDs for full cycle? and at what hang height

What would be the most efficient light for a single plant indoor grow? My hope is to have one plant sustained through winter months and outdoor grow each summer. I've been to a number of sites and advice varies, so I thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks in advance.

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?

Scrog Defoliation during flowering - how hard to go?
I'm going into 4th week of flower, and I'm fairly sure they're done stretching now, and have filled the screen nicely. How much should I be defoliating at this point? Should I take just leaves, or also small budsites under the canopy? Critical xxl on left, OG Kush on the right.

I looking to put a 20L dehumidifier into my tent (1.2x1.2x2.0) Is it best outside or inside of the tent? It also has an ioniser function. Is it best to turn this on or leave it off also. I'm having humidity issues. It's not overly high 65% but I would prefer it to be 50/55%

Defoliating dense and bushy plant in flower
I think I know what I can do better next time, but for now, what can I do to manage such a dense and bushy plant? I defoliated five days ago, but she keeps bouncing back quickly. Should I continue removing leaves as needed, or would that cause too much stress? Day 25
