Defoliate autoflower?

MisterPandaBearstarted grow question 4 years ago

Week 8 since out of the ground. Looking good and healthy, but should I defoliate seeing as how I only have the spiderfarmer SF1000 for a 2.5x2.5 tent?

hey there, you're actually in tip top shape. Just remember, once you close the tent up it actually gets way more bright than even slightly opened which is how you see it, so even the lower parts get their fair share of light. If anything you can probably lower the lights just a touch. The light affects the plant with an exponential schedule so even a small change in distance can bring it home in a big way. Hope this helps ! 🚀

i would defoliate in case there are any big leaves blocking light to the lower bud-sites, or if the humidity in the tent is getting high, so you can get a better air ventilation at the lower sites..

I wouldn't cut anything away Bro :-) Plants need the leaves for photosynthesis :-) If you disturb any leaves you can also bind the leaves away but you don't need them :-) Your plant looks great 😍👌

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes! I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?
