Auto Orange Bud

MADMANk Doing nothing but slight defoliation on this auto (maybe once every few weeks), removed 4 lower leaves that where wilted.

MADMANk So.... i dont grow autos because i dont enjoy defoliating them. What ive done id consider a "harsh" defol (when i told myself i wouldnt defoliate AT ALL).... accidental 1 limb snap, cleaned up some limbs for no larf (pinched off flower sites) and was done, as ive just seen pistils. Deffo a "we'll see" on this one, so wish me luck. ALSO pinned it down with slight tension with garden wire.

MADMANk Been taking off any fans laying on others, maybe 1-3 every few days, other than that taken off a tie down that was done with garden wire. Honestly didnt expect it too respond so well to last weeks HEAVY defoliation!

MADMANk Taken fans off the lower portion of the plant 1-5 every few days or so, currently doing no defoliation and havnt passed 4/5 days. Terpes- pretty amazed by the fact i smell fresh oranges even now in early flower! (Seaweed drench once a week)

MADMANk (currently.lights off in video and picture of this week) I really couldnt help myself. After checking up online and researching a few auto grows, i decided to heavily defoliate, clean legs and pinch off larf, cleaned up middle canopy also. I partially did this because i kinda of would like the height too stunt plus have buds that wont just be thrown in the bubble wash. I was forced also to pull down the main stem because of the height of my veg tent. The pin down has been recently taken off, but will be applied of needed again! Im also guessing the leaves have heavily clawed from the stress, after the defol, i wreckon i shouldnt have watered so hard... My bad

MADMANk Brutal... Ive seen many people defoliate at this time, so i did. After defoliating, i over watered not having time too look after the plants in hot weather being away, im pretty sure it also got c02 poisoning + phos toxicity... Whatever happened this thing took 5/6 days to bounce back from the heavy defoliation i did and during so, its tips heavily yellow/browned which looks like c02/phos/pH issues. I really dont enjoy growing autos because i cant help myself... Next auto im going to make sure to train early in veg stage... Defoliate EARLY before/JUST as sex shows, and stop myself from defoliating MID flower (autos) It is what it is! 6th auto, and i still cant get over the fact some will do this, some wont.

MADMANk Nugs are pretty dense considering, and honestly im not too bummed out, happy ive got the experience, next time im going to make sure training and defoliations will be done during its veg stage
