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

Can male flowers pollinate buds that have been already harvested? I've had to cull a couple of plants because they are hermies and I'm worried that pollen from the male flowers will pollinate female buds when I use the same drying rack, is this possible?

LST/Defoliation Advice I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

Would it be a good idea to slowly start pruning the lower and shaded baby shoots? I'm afraid it could stunt the growth.. I've previously scrogged my plants(photoperiod ones) at the height of 30 cm.

Is it time for light defoliation?These plants are all 4 almost 5 weeks since seed. Top leaves on the large one at the back are shadowing those beneath it. A couple leaves at the bottom are extremely limp due to not receiving enough light. Is it time for a light defoliation? How do I distinguish which leaves?

Supposed to be an autoflower strain. This is week 8 and I don't know if I see any signs of flowering or not. I just switched to flower nutes anyway for one watering to see if I can jump start it. I have a photo seedling in the room so don't want to switch to 12/12 yet.

One of my girls is showing signs of N tox so I'm going to drop nutrients for the next week and just feed plain PH'd water until a good runoff. My question is; during this week should I still be giving Bud Factor X, Big Bud, and Bud Candy? There isn't N in those.

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Looking to the future, would it be at all beneficial to set up a scrog net following the mainline training? Space will be limited and I feel the only way to get real cola separation if I end up with three plants, will be with a screen. Also for 32"x"32" would 3-4 be too many?

Hi everyone, I need some advice here. I am currently using a 200W dual spectrum CFL for Vegatation however I know that I will require a more powerful setup for flowering, if I want to get a good yield from all 3 plants. Can anyone tell me what would be better, HPS or LED?
