Thatsmyfirsttimestarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi! When should I top her? She has 3 pair of leaves now.
I know it can be risky, but I'd like to experiment a bit :)

I'd say wait until she has 5 pair of leaves and you want to top a healthy plant growing vigorously, if she is having problems growing you need to wait at least 7 pair of leaves before topping, good luck ! It isn't risky as long as you wait for her to be able to grow out of it ! :)
Also I'd recommend mulching the top of your soil for beneficial soil health and 80% less watering! :)

Autoflower not flowering after 3 monthsI'm growing a dwarf auto-flowering strain in a greenhouse outdoors. Its now been 12 weeks since it sprouted and no sign of flowers. Someone else mentioned that autoflowers sometime switch to photoperiod outdoors. Is this a possible explanation or am I just being impatient?4 years ago

Adding two more plants 2x4 tentI wanted to start two more plants, but I'm just wondering what kind of problems I might run into having different autos at different stages ie. Light height, older plants blocking out the young 1s etc Just wondering if there is something I haven't thought of. Any advice?

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stageHi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.
