Been running 12/12 for a few days, one of them flipped yesterday so it's looking good. Will stick to 12/12.I remove leaves almost daily. Totally fine. Just don't go crazy. Also don't listen to bad advice about changing light cycles. Run 12/12 for flower. Don't change it.
Thanks for the advice. It seems the plants are completely unaffected by pruning so I'll just keep doing it, keeping it light like you say.
Here are 2 images with exactly 72 hours in between. The one on the left just received a pretty brutal pruning, and recovered quickly.
I actually pruned the roots that same day. People told me it was bad for the plant but I just don't see it?
(I thought it was root bound)
