this week everything is going great, delays and problems in growth are not visible, sweet seeds as usual show high quality genetics. showed the floor by the 21st day, it pleases
the plant starts to gain and there is not enough space in my box. the lower flowers receive some light, but not enough. Should I defoliate the leaves or not?
That's a nice and big looking auto, congrats.
I would try and use some LST to allow better airflow and light though. just tie the branches down and fan the plant out.
The option of defoliation is there but Autos do go into shock easily, if this was to go into shock it may have diminished yields.
If you where really stuck on the idea of it, Only removed 10% or less of leaves. Its going to require a lot of them to grow big.
Plus defoliation should only be used to increase airflow and light penetration.
Again I don't think I would do that on this plant though. Increase airflow and light by LST, spread em out.
Good Luck and Happy Growing!
The plant showed some problem areas on the leaf, and the characteristic red stems appeared on the upper floors of the plant. I began to wonder if this was due to the PH level or not, but I added some PK 13-14 just in case.
keeping track of the PH level when growing on soil is very difficult for me. On coco substrate it was easy
there are still some problems with the humidity of the tent, because my ventilation with a pc cooler and a charcoal filter mat for the hoods can barely cope with the large vapors of the leaves
I found center of mold on the main cone, and decided to do harvesting plant so as not to lose the entire crop.
later I will add a week harvest. after drying. Thanks everyone for the advice and kind words. I was lucky that I found the mold before it spread!
