I finally decided to give my ladies a haircut to bring some light into the jungle and expose the bud sites. Although an Auto, i thought the stretch is over and it also helps with airflow (My last grow had moldy buds, so i try to be careful) The longest branch got a bit burned by my grow light as i didn´t keep up with stretch. I have recently measured the pH of the runoff which is about 5. The soil is 95% peat and rich in fertilizer which i think is the reason why it is so low. I have been adding good amounts of Biobizz PH+ (20ml per 5l water) but it only helps temporarily. Now, the first plant on the left has shown an increase in pH to the 6.5 range which i interpret as a signal that the fertilizer in the soil is used up (runoff had only 350ppm) So for the last watering i added about 2ml of 10-30-20 blossom booster which resulted in a 1000ppm solution.

I defoliated my AK420 Auto in week 7 and took at least 1/3 off in order to expose bud sites. Do you like it? Would you defoliate even more? Or do you refrain from defoliating autos at all?

Defoliation of healthy green leaves just reduces your plants capacity to make energy, slowing growth and potentially leading to smaller growth too. Those "bud sites", which are really branches, were relying on the leaves that you removed to make the energy they needed to grow their biggest and fastest. If your plant was a V8 race car at Le Mans, defoliation is like disconnecting 3 or 4 cylinders and then expecting the car to do the same lap times! If your plant did not need those leaves, it would not have grown them in the first place. Personally, I never remove any healthy, green, energy producing leaves, no matter if it it would be an auto or photoperiod plant, only removing the yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Just remember, - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth. It is that simple, and basic plant biology too. As you can tell, I am very anti defoliation, it serves no real purpose other than to slow growth. Removing healthy green leaves and forcing the plant to grow new healthy green leaves seems incredibly inefficient to me, and no doubt, the plant feels the same. Hope this helps, Organoman.

While lower fan leaves have been yellowing and some of them dying of, the upper fan leaves of the colas with good light exposure show additional dark spots, this developed in only 2 days after watering with plain water (runoff EC 0.53 / 250ppm) Burnt tips were there before.

Hi there, Four things come into my mind.It could be one of your problems.1) phosphorous def ( purple stem and leaves).2)light burn ( top leaves which exposed to light longer than the others have this symptom.3)Run out of food ( if your run off ppm is 250, definitely running out of nutes).4)genetic ( some strain will show tips burn like nute burn.But on the other hand, they cannbilize themselves and the leaves will be turning into yellow even though you are giving enough food.Happy growing... ✌️

Cal msg them ladies. That is a nutrient lock my ladies did this at week three of flower and they straightened back out. But it’s cause of the soil ph not adding to the ph of your waters intake at root level.
