Well, I think we prematurely cut out the Nitrogen, because you can see the two taller plants have some leaves and are very very light green in color overall. We're going to give them some Micro tonight and hopefully that fixes that and the long-term side effects won't be detrimental. Other than that, the two super short plants have sticky frosty buds, the 2nd tallest has some thick hairy nugs, and the tallest one seems to be lagging. The buds are probably 25%-40% the size of the other plants. Not sure what's up with that, but we're going to let it go longer if we have to. We were really nervous about defoliating anything, but we defoliated the one that seemed the most stunted and it seems fine. Anyone have defoliation tips for autoflowers? Some say don't do it at all, some say not in flower, some defoliate the crap out of them. We also made the sad discovery that our light wasn't plugged in to the timer. It was the exhaust fan. So every night, the exhaust fan would shut off, the humidity would sky rocket, and the plants never saw darkness. 24 hours of light. Stupid rookie mistake. It's fixed now, but I felt like an idiot. Starting a new grow tonight as well! We have two 7 gallon pots of Happy Frog mixed with 20% perlite, pre-soaked. Going to see if we can have two plants as seedlings and two as mid-late flowerers. Could be interesting! Anyone have any advice on perpetual harvests in one tent?

Should we remove these large yellow crusty leaves near the soil? The plants are at about day 38. I've heard people say you shouldn't defoliate this early in flower. Should I be concerned about these leaves dying off or is this normal?

To me, these look like older leaves that are not receiving enough direct light. You should remove them once they have gone yellow, for if you leave them, this could invite fungal/mould to form. My advice is to remove any yellow leaf and never remove any healthy green leaves, for it is these healthy green leaves that are producing the energy required by your plant to grow. When the leaves go yellow for whatever reason, stored vital elements in the leaves will be "recycled" by the plant to be used for new growth. Premature removal of healthy leaves robs the plant of these stored elements (carbs, sugars, amino acids etc), meaning the plant will have to "re-manufacture" the previously store elements anew, denying energy away from growth/flower production. Defoliation to increase energy going to flowers is the biggest MYTH in the cannabis cultivation world. Removing healthy leaves, lowers available energy production and can lead to smaller flowers for the reasons stated earlier. Energy in a plant can not be "channelled", all energy is used in all areas of growth equally. Cannabis has been evolving for Millenia, it has not evolved to dropping healthy leaves when flowering. In fact, more leaves equals bigger and healthier flowers due to maximum energy production (photosynthesis). Reducing a plants ability to photosynthesize by removing leaves, starves the plant of energy, resulting in smaller and weaker plants. It does no harm to leave the leaves, most of the light will pass through to the lower leaves anyhow. There is no way the small leaves that grow within the flowers can produce enough energy for optimum growth, as compared to just one large and healthy "fan" leaf; the energy makers for the plant. Hope this helps... Organoman.

Does this bottom left plant need more nitrogen? The last two waterings we've given it 1.5 ml/liter of Micro. Should we give it more? The other 3 plants of the same strain are much smaller, much darker green, and further ahead in flower. These Blue Dream autos are 51 days old.

From every seed, you get a different plant, if you want them all to looks the same you need to take clones. She probably has just stopped intaking nitrogen, the greener one may still be intaking it but will eventually stop aswell. The reason why the smaller ones are still greener is because they are smaller thus requiring less nitrogen, the bigger ones need more of it so they show the sings of lacking N more quickly. I wouldnt supplement with nitrogen at this point excluding the nitrogen in the bloom nutes, they usually have less nitrogen amounts specifically due to this, and that little ammount is enough for the plant, if she doesnt want to uptake it, then dont force her. :) Stay lit growmie. Best of luck.

Did we start flushing too early or right on time? Should we be good to harvest in about 10 days after the 2 week flushing?

She's a week plus out imo from what I can tell. A 3 week flush won't hurt a darn thing. They look nice just let them trichomes all cloudy up. Look for around 20% amber for a harvest window. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ˜ค

Two weeks seems to be just the perfect period to have your plants 100% clean.

It's an auto flower, so doesn't always play by the same rules as a photo period. Go by your Trichomes for harvest in either case. For your question, a couple extra weeks of flushing won't hurt, IMO. My current grow has been flushing for about 5 weeks.

Im on week seven with my Blue Dream Auto Flowers. Mine did not start to flower until week five. My growth at week seven look likes yours at week four. Wondering if it might be because of the strain. Im I allowed to ask where you got your seeds? Great grow! Thanks for posting!

Two weeks seems to be just a perfect flushing period to have all chemicals out of the buds for certain.
