I've read a bit on the different techniques people use to promote more growth as the plant gets bigger and was wondering if I should be doing the same. Would just love some clarification here as some people are saying to leave it alone, while others are saying the opposite.

Cannabis is a canvas. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.. you might just grow ;) All plants on my page are autoflowers, and none of them would be as they are, if un-trained... Plan for the best scenario.. a healthy plant is barely affected by stress. For a first time grow, I recommend to not train, so that you can see the progression of improvement gained by learning to train your plant for more main-colas. Feel free to ask me anything. Happy growing!

Auto flowers and photoperiods react differently- which is why you are probably hearing two different things. Autos don’t handle stress well, it stunts them and keeps your harvests small. LST is the only thing I’d recommend Photos one the other had are in the vegetative state longer, and can therefor handle and recover better from the stresses of topping, fim’ing and the like. Hope this helps. Happy Growing 🌱

I have germinated some auto seeds and started sitting them outside but I want to move them inside to a grow tent and grow them there. Is there a problem with starting plants outside then moving them under led lighting for the veg/bloom? Anything you need to watch out for?

Asking all the Green Buzz Liquid growers: What experience did you make with clean fruits? Is it required to use clean fruits with flushing or is it okay just to water the girls with that additive without producing drain? I mean, normally no need to flush organic nutes, right? 😁

I've got some handymen coming over to fix things around my apartment in a couple of weeks time. The closet lights I ordered won't arrive until after they've gone. I was wondering, how long can I leave the plant without light? Ideally, they'll be without it for at least 36 hours.

I'm trying to find some information on whether or not we should keep the plant in 24-72 hours of darkness before harvest. Some people say yes, some say no, I was wondering what the community thought and practiced.

In the last 2 pics from this week you can see #1 leaves "tacoing" I've read this indicates heat stress, but the lights are over a foot above, great airflow and surface temp is only 78°. What's the deal? @hso do these girls like cool climates??
