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

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?

Come to my aid
Yooyoo guys could this be light stress ? Also should I consider a second defoliation? I reckon it could help the shorter plants get more light What do you guys think ? I’ve added a pic of the light Happy growing

Will it hurt to defoliate every few days or should it only be done a couple times per grow?. Also LST during all stages?

When you guys turn the plants into flowering, do you guys continue to tuck the plants under the scrog net during the stretch or do you let it just grow vertically? Thanks!

I was moving the plant and it fell on the floor. Luckly I catch it in mid fall, so the plant hadn't got any damage, but a lot of soil finished on the colas. I tried to clean them but they remain a bit dirty, because they are very sticky. How can I clean them?

Should I remove the smallest and lowest stems of the plant on 6th week? I'm pretty sure they will be useless being that small and down but will it help in some way?

I've read that Ghost Train Haze takes 10 weeks to flower, I have only ever grown 8 week flowering plants in the past. I am at 3 weeks of flower at the moment and my plants are only just showing 1or 2 hairs here and there. At what week will I need to add Pk?

Did I remove too much growth?
Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves. She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy. Pictures are before- After and after top view
