Now is the time to clean them up. You can take a few leaves off that cover bud sites and will help with air flow.

Hey mate, You can but they will come off on their own. I'd just leave them. It wont cause any harm. Mine actually came off today coincidentally!

This is my first DWC cannabis grow and I'm not really sure how long to flush her for. Next week my plan is to change the water and PH it to 5.5 and obviously add no nutrients. I have read that with DWC you don't need to flush as long so I was thinking of waiting 1 full week?

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

If I buy a cool mist humidifier for my grow room, will it decrease my indoor temp and increase my RH? Also, with a duct fan sucking up the air out of my grow room, how effective will it be? Unless I slow the air flow down. Thanks!

I have a question. I have a 2 by 4 tent 60" high. I have a higrow 2000 watt led. The light is as high as possible in the tent for my plants. 2 plants are 3 1/2" tall 38 1/2" away from the light now. As they grow that will reduce. I don't want to burn. Take them out of the tent?

Hi! I have two plants in same tent. One will be done 5-6 days before the other one. Someone mentioned shoebox... what would you say is the best way to dry the first plant if it has to be inside the tent while other plant is finishing up? Humidity/Temp only possible in tent for me

Is it actually showing signs of preflowering? I'm started to think I bought a feminazed Mazar and I don't remember lol. Maybe I'm just too eager for her to flower, next Monday will be week 8 and it's only showing this

Defoliating question- early flower
I'm wondering when I should defoliate again. There's a ton of different methods out there and I'm kind of lost. I feel like I should cull the fan leaves to let the buds breath and get more light.

Anyone use Humic acid in their grows with synthetic feeds? What benefits am I looking for? I’ve recently added Zeus juice and I’m unsure of the benefits.

At start of light today in this tent I noticed this single top bud looking a little shriveled or curled compared to the others. What could cause this? Plant is not showing any other signs, but is getting over a very brief fungus gnat infection.

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
