This is day 40 from seed on these Pineapple Runtz Autoflower by ETHOS. I watered in recharge last night, They are all doing really well, I almost missed a water day and the 2 on the left didn't like it as much. Smell hasn't POPPED yet, but I know these will put out. I think the bloom booster really helped push out more bud sites, this has only 40 more days and it will be done. I expect a nice harvest and some beautiful buds. This is a super simple grow set up.
I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
Defoliation is a greatly misunderstood technique. Many try it, screw up horribly, and then write it off. At the end of the day it's like any other training, we're playing with stress reactions of the plant to attempt to influence growth. Don't be afraid to experiment, that's how we learn.
Yo, the grow is looking nice. Question, is this your first run with the Grow Dots? If not, how do you like the harvest with grow dots? looking to get some myself but dont know how they compare to regular liquid nutes.
@HookedByStryker, hey thanks fam. I've used grow dots in the past, this is my first time with autoflowers and dots. They do well, I always add some recharge and bloom boosters from Dakine or Phive 8 New millennium. Dense big buds , great trichome production. It's just a great base for me to add
