I'd probably defoliate the ones larger than your hand that's covering up everything. Those would be all Id take. Happy Growing! 👊

Can I defoliate?
She's in week 8 and I am wondering if I can heavily defoliate her because she's full of leaves but I also don't want to slow down flowering process since I don't have much time before I flush her and harvest..any suggestion? Thank you and take a look to the diary for other pics:)

To Pune or install Support Netting
At day 47 I've noticed a significant increase in bud formation. I'm worried about light pen and support. Im running 3 plants in a 4x4 area. Should I install a net like a late Sea of Green growing style to help spread buds out for light pen and support when heavy or thin her out?

Excessive leaf growth during flowering
I am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8. The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?

Plant not flowering
After 13 weeks this lady is not flowering- every time I see the new growth it just develops into more leaves! She has also streched massively over the last 4 weeks as if she's just about to flower but nothing. She was a free auto seed I got but seems like she's a dud?

Too many leaves?
So everything seems fine but I feel like there are way too many leaves that over shadows what's below. Should I do something that could be beneficial? Or just leave it as it is? Maybe some defoliation, little by little, to not stress the plant? It's in week 9 now.

My plant started to yellow due to alkaline soil, next time I watered it was done at 6.5ph. Is there anything else I can do to adjust the pH of the medium? Also why is it growing toward the fan and but it's leaves bending backwards?

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?

Is my seedling a mutant or could this be due to half the seed husk taking longer than usual to fall off and deforming the growth of the first leaves?
