Auto Bcn Critical xxl.. Newbie First Gro

All 3 seedstockers bcn critical xxl are still surviving the heat and in preflower. All 3 girls are 20 inches tall with fat strong stems... They are all on the Remo Nutrients flowering nutes at full dose every other water, and 6.5 pH water on the alternate. All 3 are in slightly different stages of early flower but stacking and building great bud sites I have been removing about 6 to 8 shade leaves per week, giving them time to recover before each minor defoliation, but I tell ya what, it may go against the general autoflower etiquette lol, they seem to love it, and are standing proud withing an hour of doing it... I only did it on 1 for a start to observe the reaction... As for stunting growth, it didn't apply in this case because it is the most advanced of the 3 and went into flower first and due to the increase in light to the lower growth it is packing on everywhere. I moved onto doing it to all 3 and the results are very promising.. Some heat stress and light burn this week but hopefully have it under control now temps are dropping slightly Tune in next week Happy growing RSB
