Cinderella Jack DWC Dutch Passion Master

Heya Growmies, Big week for this plant, she had exploded in growth, in the middle of the week I detected first signs of flower so I decided to Lollipop and defoliare her, remove any tiny branches that would yield poor, fluffy buds and big fan leaves covering the lower canopy. Many people would argue to not cut off anything from Autoflowering plants, here's my counterpoint as a grower with a few under his belt. This strain is stable, Cinderella Jack has been around for years, Dutch Passion is a competent breeder, this particular phenotype has been vegging for 5 whole weeks, that's a lot of foliage and offshoots. She will enter her stretch any day now, and I want her energy to go to decent branches that will yield me smokable bud, not tiny offshoots with fluffy cloudy buds. Many experienced growers, including myself, still defoliate and lollipop after flipping to flower with Photoperiod plants, and once a photoperiod plant has been flipped to flower as such, it behaves almost identically to an auto entering flower, I have timed my defoliation to happen at a point comparable to a Photoperiod ~1 week after flipping to flower. So at the end of the week I decided to move her to the flowering tent which is a Mars Hydro 70x70, and my flowering light a Mars Hydro TS1000, and gave her a day to adjust to said environment. Then I took off most of the bottom branches and big fan leaves. A day after defoliating the plant bounced back and grew vigorously, I will be looking for signs of herming over the course of the next few days, but I don't see this strain reacting that poorly. thats it for this week, I look forward to this plant entering flower in the next few weeks.
