No I wouldn't, she's still stretching. No need to pull them off unless they're blocking flower sites or dying. 👍🌱

Im Worried about the space and the stretch of plant. it seems the only the tops are frosting and bulking. Should just carry on as it is, or should i try tie down the cola's more horizontally and defoliate to try get more to even canopy and get lights closer to the lower bud sites

Why is the Tonic Ryder so much smaller than the GG#4 even though i started them on the same day in the same earth? Is it a function of the different genetics or am I screwing up?

Is there any way I can prolong the veg stage to allow the pant to get a bit bigger. I was thinking if I topped her she will be forced to put out new growth but I have no idea if this is possible with auto flowers. Could this be detrimental to the plant? What should I do?

In a weeks time(when my stretch is over)I will defoliate a few fan leaves covering colas. So... how much should I cut, fan leaves higher or lower on the stem and what effect will this have on growth and yield? does time of day or time in the watering cycle of the cutting matter?

Defoliating FastBuds Autos Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

Should I defoliate, or let them grow? I see some buds that dont get enough light. I have 3 options. 1: let them grow 2: defoliate a little bit, just cut some leafs 3: hard defoliation/schwazzing. What would you do?

Hi, can somebody with look at my week 6 pics and tell me if this looks like light burn, wind burn or a nutrient issue? I thought initially that it was a nutrient lockout from watering error, but the worst leaves are all on one side. This leads me to wind or light instead.
