started grow question 6y ago
Did I overdo it on the defo ? Each individual main branch has at least 3 goodly sized fan leaves left.

I think it maybe a little to much, see how she goes. You will know for the next run for sure. It's all about learning what the strain likes and dont like. Cheers friend

question or two in one. When should I start pruning and when should I top? I have been seeing topping should be at 3rd node? Anyone tried that? And how about trimming the leaves up? Should I snip the first set, the two single true leaves? Wait a while longer?

They are in 2 gallon pots right now. When should I switch them to 5 gallon? When should I start flower. I can get my light 2 inches away from the top of my tent and my tent is 6’7” tall.

Cut Branches in Flowering
When do you heavy defoliate your Autoflower? She's filled my grow box with some stretch yet, and wondering if I can hack some of the branches/leaves that will never see light. If so, what is your sweet spot in a 12 week strain?

The last figure shows the topping plan i'd pick for this round, but i didn't manage to grow my plants this way. Better luck next time! Only now i want to know, can anyone point me to a diary that shows a plant that actually is topped that way? Thank you very much. 😏

If I wanted to try monster cropping this batch, when is the best time to take the clones? And should I target the small popcorn colas at the bottom for cloning or would I have better luck with one of the top colas?

I've heard topping autos is ill-advised. Any advice on the topic? Should i just let this girl go on naturally or should i top her? I want to milk her for the best yield possible.

Anyone had a pepper-y aroma in a pheno of something normally very tasty? The other plants are really quite nice, very Kush-y - had a few popcorn buds in the vape - but one has this really stinging black pepper aroma to it. Will this turn into something more pleasant with curing?

My plants have a dense foliage and some branches are outgrowing the main colas. I've been tucking the fan leaves around and I tried to gently push the branches to the sides but I think that might not be enough. What can I do to fix both things without stressing them too much? 😵

I have been flowering for three weeks and small buds are forming. Can I defoliate a certain percentage of small leaves now or is it to late to worry about it? There are also very small amount of white powder on leaves.
