I topped them to hopefully save room. Idk how it'll work in the end. I know generally you're not supposed to top an auto but I gotta do something to save room.
I added 1 tablespoon of 3-18-0 fish bone meal to each pot on day 23. I'm hoping to force flowers, again I am concerned about the amount of space I have.
I got a bigger tent so the 1 gallon pot and topping may not have been necessary after all but it says what it is now. I put Dr Earth fish bone meal on to help. I'm watering quite a bit now. Not quite 1/2 gallon per plant per day.
I added a fan to get some air moving around. The buds are getting a little denser. I also skipped watering a couple times. It didn't seem to hurt or help. I just thought the moisture seemed to be high.
What I would do is take a look at the undercarriage and remove any dead looking or sad looking leaves that aren't getting light, as well as any weak lower branches that just aren't reaching the light.
With autos it's important to find a nice balance between defoliation and leaf tucking with then objective being to maximize bud site exposure. Finding balance helps deliver what will benefit the plant without overly stressing it.
So after you remove what you need to underneath, take a minute to really look at your plant and see where you can tuck some leaves, and if you see any large leaves that are really just getting in the way, don't be afraid to remove them.
Lastly, keep in mind that the fan leaves are the plant's energy stores, so don't go Edward Scissorhands on them. 😉 It's all about balance!
Good luck and happy growing! ✌️ ❤️ 🌱
Take from both answers above or leave them alone they are fine cropping or trimming the bottom most useless branches and leaves will in fact put more energy into the upper buds but remember not to trim all the fan leaves just be selective on one you do remember it will shock the plant and slow growth until healed also needs some fans leacves to suck up the goodies so you maybe better off just leaving her be and do her own thing personally grower preference maybe try it on one or two and leave the other be experimenting can do wonders if done correctly look at supercroping maybe try that
You can remove the leaves from the lower 1/3 of the plant this week and tuck a few under to let more light at the bud sites. Over the next couple of weeks slowly remove a "few" of the largest leaves from the upper branches that are blocking light to the upper buds. Looks like you have a few more weeks to go.
