Healthy looking leaves! Have you thought any about defoliation?

As you can see from my last Autoflower grow (Greencrack) you can Top/Supercrop Autos as long as they are healthy they will not be stressed to much and will continue on just fine. The same goes for Defoliation. I wouldn't recommend spreading the defoliation out but rather rip it like a bandaid. The benefits outweigh the negatives even with Autos as long as the plants are healthy.

@HighTV, yes, that's what i'm going to ask. I've read about the pro and contra of defoliation specially on autoflowering. Some of them said leave it some of them do it. What about your opinion?

Hi, what happened with the other seeds?

bluetoniccommented6 years ago

It can be anything. Probably the failure was on my hand. But RQS guys covered the lost, without problem. They are awesome. Their product is awesome. This time it's just an exception.

@bluetonic, that sucks! I have have nothing but success with RQS 5 of 6 seeds germinated for me and 4 of them have been harvested. Unfortunately that was before I started using this great diaries site.

@James, I really don't know. They didn't germinated. It was moist enough, no lights and the temp should be around 25 Degree. What i'm not quite sure if it's the problem. I'm using tap water and jiffy pot. I checked the PH of the water, it was 7.

Hi! Nice girl! But i think she needs more time. I guess macro now will be 50% transp 50 cloudy

bobo420commentedweek 66 years ago

Coming along nicely ;)

CBDezzcommentedweek 66 years ago

Yeah man your grow is looking great compared to mine. Your is much more bushy....I will be posting some updated pictures tonight or tomorrow so your can see. My buds do seem to be a little further along but your plant looks so much more healthy.

Hi @bluetonic! Well, it's easy to over-do with LST, I think your worked a bit too much on these plants, give them some time to recover from your latest manipulations. Plus, you've just changed the lighting system, that's quite a disturbing event for plants so they will need a few days to adapt to the new light spectrum/power. At this stage I would stop to LST since it seems to slow down the growth, and considering you're growing an auto, time is running and she should start pre-flowering soon. Finally, your diary says your temp is 25°c, but your thermometer on picture 8 shows a 32.8°C temp. High temps can lead to slow growth and many kinds of issues. Combined with the previously listed factors, heat might be responsible for the lack of vertical growth. Now about defoliation, I won't do it now, not until the plants look healthy with a normal daily growth, otherwise you may add another stress and loose some days recovering from these shocks. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

@Stick, Hi Thanks for your advice. Yes, it became warmer, because of the new LED lamp. before it was 26 degree. I put more powerful ventilator but it did not decrease the temperature. I have to buy pipe ventilator. So i can installed it to get air from outside to the inside of the tent.
