Plants stress when you manhandle it by snapping “ healthy “ parts from it .

It’s like somebody breaking your fingers ..... leaves will fall when they get sucked dry and age.
Tucking is mere move out of the buds way kinda thing , not with force.

I feel stupid as I listened to an old buddy of mine & he said to cut off lower sucker leaves & hadn't heard from you at this time, this morning.. so I did. It's a really healthy plant but just wondering what damage I've done & how to proceed ? Again its a kush in its 3d wk and a 2 mo. grow. I'm still wondering when to flip from 18/6???? ty Also growing a northern lights....should I leave all leaves on it as well??

It’s a only 4 ft tall tent? If they’re dead leaves take them off then. Your plants willl be fine though. Anyway if you tent is only 4 ft tall and the plants are 2 ft flip now.

A plant is sexually mature when it has offset nodes.It takes longer if you flip too soon to show sex.

You can switch/flip/go to 12/12 whenever you want! Most growers determine when, to flip, by the space they have available. The plants will grow larger & more mature, and yield more hopefully, the later you wait. After flipping, the plants will go through a burst of growth, called the stretch, that happens before flowering starts. You can't plan a 2 month grow, the plants will take longer than that. If you have an 8 week strain, they're talking about 8 weeks after the stretch is over! Good luck!
