Duggsterstarted grow question 4 years ago
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 🌱

To defoliate or not to defoliate.So, this is day 1 of flowering and my question is:
Who thinks I should defoliate those four babies? If so, when should I do it?
Note: I lollipopped their on February 1. See pictures of both moments.
Cheers to all growers out there,

Pruning to minimize aphids during flower, yes or no?I think I have aphids on one of my plants, and lots of vegetative growth so I’m thinking of doing a little pruning.Is this a good idea during flower? Any tips on HOW I should prune? I was generally scared of pruning throughout the grow, I don’t know what to leave and what to clip

New grower - advice on what to do with this growth below the canopy.What can I do with this growth under the canopy? I've removed a few leaves to create a canopy and increase airflow (i also have limited space), and still have some growth on the branches. Dont want them turning into colas. Can I remove or best to leave on for now?

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.
