Pruning/pinching
drop_some_weedanswered grow question 5 years ago
firstly you have a Cal def, common in organic growth, second, for pruning, is allowed but more studied than FT because you can't decide when start flowering. you can do one, two times in precise moment of growth, like preflowering (defoliation) or the initial fase of growth like this moment ... don't do both together (prune and defoliation) don't remove more than 10% of leaf covering every time you apply. for defoliate i'm using on auto only if leaf cover bud sites or there isn't enough airflow inside ladies

Defoliation... done right there is no replacement for it on some strains.
On others meh not much to do.
Very simply the more growth tips or colas in the direct light the better as long as you dont stress the plant too much.
That is my opinion

Congrats on your new grow... 😁
I like to do LST (low stress training) on my autos.... I have tried topping, defol,and the LST seemed to respond the best!
Happy Growing!

There is no consensus among the community when it comes to defoliation there is far too many opinions and it's subjective.. So that being said if it's your first plant let it grow see how it grows worry about all that later. After growing quite a few ladies I'm starting to see a lot of that the ladies do a pretty good job of filling of the top canopy on their with some odd tucking or moving of leaves. Some of the most experienced/veteran growers Iv'e talked to will swear by no defoliation what so ever. Canopy control yes but no defoliation and they get bigger yields then I ever do so they must be doing something right.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Yes u are right.. Do not prune, pinch, top or fim autos.. Taking leaves off and small defoliation now and then shudnt hurt her tho.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

1 out of 3 doesnt do as well as the othersIm just wondering why one out of 3 plants, does not perfectly well while the others seem doing awesome. Can it really differ from a strain that it shows signs of light stress or nutrient burn while other plants seem to do well with it?

Normal trichomes or something bad?Dumb question, I started noticing this on my leaves. I recently battled with insane humidity which I was just recently able to fix, and was wondering if this is normal/my usual over worrying or if it's some sort of mold/mildew/fungus or something I should actually worry about.

Tiny holes!?This morning while looking I noticed tiny little holes on some of the leaves on one of my plants. I didn't see any pests with my eye, and I tried to use my phone the best I could but couldn't see any. I've also heard this could be environmental/viral. Any thoughts or ideas?

Spotted LeavesMy ladies looked good until recently, it has been very warm the last few days. Then they began to let their leaves hang down (didn't get enough water) and gradually turned yellow, now they are getting spots. This is my first grow and I am not sure what it could be.

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?

Identify Issue: Brown Spots, Lower leaves first, from outer-tipsShowing up on 2 out of the 5 in my soil bed. Front 2. Transplanted 10 days ago, went well enough.
Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leavesThe top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?
