Do I even bother trimming autos? If so, what is safe to get rid of? I know it's not time yet, but I'm getting all my ducks in a row. 😀

Just do some LST and let them go my friend! Tuck leaves when you can to open bud sights but I wouldn’t cut any unless they are dead! Hope this helps & happy growing friend!✌️🏼🌱

Don't listen to these other guys! Think for yourself! Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and push the envelope! I train my autos heavy. Here's my most recent example of how I start my plants off, for big yields: growdiaries.com/diaries/68030-fastbuds-strawberry-pie-auto-grow-journal-by-basementganja Feel free to ask me anything.

No way, bro! No trimming autoflower if you don't want to reduce your yield and have issues with plant development! Autoflower doesn't like stress during the vegetative stage; it handles stress better during pre-flowering and flowering! No trimming or torture! 👆 Good luck, bro! ✊😇

Not sure when it is time to harvest? This is my first grow, and I've looked up some guides, but It is not clear to me whether I should wait for all the colas to have to right color. The main one looks pretty much done, but there are small ones to the sides still completely white.

Just finished my first harvest and I was surprised that I ended with an ounce for my plant. I don't know if this is common? Please take a look at my plant before harvest, and see the size of the buds and what I ended up with. Maybe its too dry after 7 days hanging . Any tips?
