Girl Scout Cookies Extreme Auto-flower

Looks fine to me I have done a Jack herer this same way if you would like to look and my grow it is currently early flower stage. I would wait a week longer next time before starting the lean on mine next time to add some ability to flex without stunting.

Yes that looks right, the idea of LST is to bend and train so that other stems are equal to the center stems. Topping at 3-5 node is recommended for photos. I don’t personally recommend topping autos

No it is absolutely not necessary. If the plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place! Just remember - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth! I am very anti defoliation and rely on the plant knowing what is best to do, after all, they have been doing so for millenia without defoliation or dinky little humidity cribs, another of my pet hates. Have been growing for close to 40 years and plants definitely grow better not defoliated. I only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have done their job, which is making energy for the plant to grow. Less leaves = less energy = less growth - it is that simple! Hope this helps, Organoman.

I have heard it isn't good to defoliate autos, but for my photos, I lollipop about a week or two before entering flower, then defoliate during flower at days 21 and 42. Sometimes they don't need a full defoliation, I just try to make some space for airflow.

It's never good to defoliate an auto. Try to tuck as many as you can.

I wouldnt worry- Plants do have life cycles and it looks like its the oldest leaves dying back yeah? This is normal, a few leaves dying off here n there is normal and no big deal. Spesh the older bottom leaves. Ur in flower so dont go stupid with the N or you will stop the flowering process- Do the buds look healthy> yes? great- fuck the leaves. lols. Unless you plant to smoke leaves who cares what they do when the plant is in mid flower? Ease back on the n if anything or keep it at a balanced flowering level i.e low and just let the plant do its thing. Most of the oldest leaves will die off before the buds are ready anyways.

I actually think this is burning from too much feeding, not a lack of anything. Cut off the worst leaves, they are ripe for fungal attack and give your plant a rest from feeding for a week or so before resuming with half to three quarters strength nutrients. I have seen quite a few problems with people using the product you are using and it may not be the best thing for cannabis.

the plant will get stressed and stress in flowering in most cases is not good. I normally defoliate or do other techniques while is in vegetative or the first 2 weeks of flowers.

Hey buddy, normally I'd say no. But it won't hurt any if you take the fan leafs covering the lower bud sites. Leave all the rest like the sugar leafs and even saying that I can only see a couple fan leafs that will help if they are taken. Maybe if you can leaf tuck and allow light to reach the lower 2/4 sites I can possibly see. Very nice grow man. 3/4 so of flowering???what's that mean you are only giving 28 days of flowering. An auto or any plan even photos need 45-65 days of flowering pal. You count down the days once stigma has starts, (white hairs, pistils) happy growing good luck.

There is no need to defoliate at all, if your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place! Just remember, - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy productionn = maximum growth. It really is that simple! Defoliating mid flower is really unwarranted, this is precisely when your plant needs maximum energy to grow the flowers. Defoliation is not a necessary step when growing cannabis, it is hardly beneficial, except maybe in extreme over crowding. Try and only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. The older leaves also act as "store houses" of pre-made vital growth elements (carbs, sugars, amino acids etc) that your plant will draw upon during flowering, as it is far more efficient to do so, rather than grow flowers and make those vital growth elements from new, at the same time. This is also the reason for the so called "fade" which occurs late flowering. So, not only does defoliation reduce your plants capacity to make energy, it also robs her of this vital resource of pre-made growth elements she has so cleverly stored in her older leaves for use precisely now, during the flowering phase. Therefore, I would urge you to seriously consider not doing any unnecessary defoliation of the large, healthy, energy making leaves. Removing perfectly healthy, green, energy producing leaves and forcing your plant to grow new healthy, green, energy producing leaves seems like a waste of energy, energy that could be going into growing flowers, and rather pointless. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Start by just giving plain water, nothing else and then harvest in 10 days or so. Nothing can be done now to fix these problem.

So. This is simple. The answers and folks you been listening to got you here. Plant has too much nitrogen, and not enough potassium and phosphorus. Likely but not necessarily causing a ph imbalance as well in your soil.

Das Problem scheint nicht unbedingt durch einen Mangel entstanden zu sein. Die Nährstoffe sind im Substrat vorhanden, können jedoch nicht verarbeitet bzw. aufgenommen werden. Es liegt eine Blockade vor. So kurz vor der ernte wäre es dann vielleicht eine Überlegung wert, die Pflanzen zu spülen ?
