I'm Just Gonna Chop the Midget

I am growing in a six site DWC. Five of my girls are doing well. One has never grown more than 3 inches and I'm ending week 3 of flowering. Strain is MI5 autoflower.

Since the other five are towering over her, she hasn't been getting light. She's frosty though, very dark green leaves. I wanted to chop her to make hash oil but wanted to know if I have to remove the roots to avoid PH problems? Her sisters still have at least 4 weeks left.

just let it be man. why cut it down? i would cut it down when i harvest the others

yea there's not reason to not let it mature...it's not taking away from your other plants.

Agree, leave it. You never know it might take off! Don't pick on the little guy

My bad I left out that She flowered a week or so earlier than the rest and although I haven't checked the trichs her hairs are very dark. I didn't want to wait too late, I remember reading that the thc loses significant potency if u wait too long to harvest.

I just raise my plants up closer to the light. I think it's a waste to destroy any female that's flowering. Hairs mean nothing, you must check color of the trichs. Once the trichomes are mostly milky white and amber, then it's time to harvest. Once the trichomes start to bend over and are fully amber colored, that is when the potency starts to degrade.
