LSD Kush and Sour Maui Haze - DWC - 270W LED

[medicinegivers]

The canopy on the SMH is getting extremely dense, and I'm worried about crowding(mildew/rot), so I'm forced to thin the leaves.
I'm trying to prevent hermaphroditism through the stress of trimming in the flower period, by coating the cut sites with honey. An old grower told me this trick, and It worked personally when grafting different vegged clones(I had hindu skunk growing on a shiva skunk stalk).
Is the benefit of airflow worth the stress of continued pruning this late into flower(day 20)? The last post has a photo post trim of about 20 medium to large fan leaves(of the SMH only)
Is lollipopping only for the last few weeks? I don't know the flowering periods on either of these strains either, although the are both hybrid, so I assume 8-10 weeks?
This is my 10th post with no replies. Anyone have any advice?

I'm not sure that honey on cut sites prevent hermaphrodites. The problem is pretty common, where a grower puts several buckets in a small space, not realizing that the plants will grow quite big, especially in DWC. The grow in water is quicker, so chances are you'll get the growth you want faster. You'll probably end up having to terminate early if only for the reason of the large growth you'll see, provided everything goes well. Plants need their leaves for photosynthesis, so a lot of trimming isn't great, but if you have to then you have to. You want airflow through the area but two fans should be okay in a small space.

That's the truth. Things are crowded, but I think it'll be ok. But, I LSTed a little too much I think, and the canopy filled in a lot more than I was expecting. RE: Honey I had some advice from an old pro who said honey was good to reduce the stress and as an anti-microbial. I grafted a few plants successfully his way using honey to prevent infection. Maybe its just an old wives tale though.
