I'm not that sure about this strain at the minute as all my other plants are growing nicely and this is a inch smaller but hey I'll never give up on them but it still worries me as this was the only 1 out 3 that properly germinated the other 2 died so ๐ค she turns out to be a beast and make up for the other 2 ๐ Happy Times Happy Growing ๐ฟ๐
@Fruitgrower, I think my problem is when autos first came out they weren't the best for defoliation training, I remember once trying the training and it pretty much stunted it ๐คฆ๐ป that's why I switched back to phenos but after some of the results I've had lately it seems autos have come on loads when it come to genetics ๐ well roll on Friday happy plucking day ๐๐๐๐
@Elmobud, I think autos are a lot more resilient than people are led to believe. So yes, I do believe it's ok to remove some leaves during all and any stage of the grow cycle. Check out some of my auto diaries, some had a lot of abuse at an early age and performed incredibly in the end. Remember in plant world, induced stress triggers the plant to grow stronger a bit like when we go to the gym. Keep growing โ๏ธ
@Fruitgrower, don't you worry bro all my strains get there final pluck on week 3 of flower after they've finished growing in height ๐ my only question is are you still OK to remover lower branches on autos at this stage or will this hurt my final yield?
