Hey, buddy! 👋
Autoflower doesn't like stress; it prefers moderate training but not stress during the vegetative stage or at the end of flowering. Defoliation makes sense for autoflower during the pre-flower stage when branches and internodes are forming and at the beginning of flowering if large leaves in the middle or lower part of the plant are blocking the main growth tips! 👆
At the end of flowering, it's not advisable to do defoliation if you don't want extra stress and want to get the most out of your harvest! 👆
According to the seed bank, your plant needs 9 weeks of flowering to consider the harvest ripe! Count the weeks of flowering from the week when your girl gets her first white hairs on the growth tips and in the internodes! 👌 By my calculations, your flowering will start in the 4th-5th week of growth 👌 Coming soon!
Keep sharing your progress and successes; it's very important for the community! 👍
Good luck, buddy! ✊😇
