No I wouldn't, she's still stretching. No need to pull them off unless they're blocking flower sites or dying. 👍🌱

Defoliation after a week of flowering
Any advice on when and if is necessary to defoliate the babe a bit? I've took down couple of small branches, and some leaves that were turning yellow for some reason T.T. Temperature's are rising a bit and plant feels a bit stressed. Anyway, can't do much. Check Week 8 forphotos

Hi guys and girls! Tell me how you plant. I doubt that the leaves are wrong. #1 can see light spots. In daylight there is no such thing, Only under the LED it can be seen. NAMASTE 🙏

I may be jumping the gun here, but when should I start topping photoperiods? And when should I transplant them? Should I wait for the root mass to fill the pot?

Just wondering what should I be doing next? Blue is getting too stiff to tie her down so I've been spreading her out more. Besides bloom nutrients next watering...do I just sit back and wait for harvest day to come rolling around?

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600. General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!

Will be flushing the coco plants soon and was wondering if it is a good idea to add molasses to the fresh water when flushing or should I keep it plain PH water?

What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.

Cant seem to get soil ph to go up. What is the cause and what am I doing wrong. Everything was great until flower so I'm guessing it's the bloom boosters. I've fed light and watered til at least 5% runoff the entire grow.

Autoflower defoliate
Should I be defoliating? With her being an autoflower I read you should leave them alone but she just keeps on making new buds at the bottom of the plant. Should I remove a few to help the canopy above or just let her do her stuff?

Looking for a suggestion, check the photos of the lights for the details. My space is a 4L×2W×5T. Just wondering if anyone has experience with a similar space and running LED system with either 300w or 600w. I'd like to go the distance.
