Most hybrid strains seem to respond well. Check out one of @imSICKkid journals. I tend to keep picking throughout the majority of flower but week 3-4 and 6-7 are where I get the most impact to flower size.. This was a fun grow.

It has an 18 inch vertical goldilocks zone, with the goal being 2 ounce per square foot if the box is running smooth. I am considering thinning out more fan leaves from the canopy to increase air flow and promote bud growth but always shed a tear when picking healthy leaves from a healthy plant. What reco…
