defoliation: autoflower faux pas?
capncrunchstarted grow question 5y ago
i've heard these girls are extra sensitive and that it's best to "tuck leaves" rather than defoliate -
but ugh, don't you just end up with a jungle bush? am I risking hurting them with moderate defoliating?

Hi! I'm growing two autos for the first time and I massively defoliated them a few times and they really couldn't care less... Obviously you must let them rest after defoliating. I usually do it in the evening (I grow outdoor) so they have all night to recover.

Autos only have so long to grow up so the more stress the smaller it will be, come flower time. Cheers

Currently In Week 8 of Veg in ScrOG Setup - When Should I Flip to Flower?I started a Scrog set up and believe I am in final stages to flip to flower. Let me know if I should flip now? I am afraid of overfilling and suffocating growing buds. Do I need to do some defoliation prior to the flip, or wait until a few weeks into flower? See Wk 8 Veg

Defoliation and lollipopOpinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?Techniques. Defoliation

Any thoughts on these trichomes? Plant is only about 6 weeks through flowering, but the trichomes looks super milky and somewhat amber, and its about 80% red hairs. Strain is supposed to be an 8-9 week flowering period.
I prefer higher proportion milky, but this seems early....Week 9

Yo bros and sistas!
Don't really have any issues ;) just wanted to ask you about SCROG nets you personally utilize/d and can reccommend with a clear conscience to other growers, no DIY stuff (which i will probably turn to after the ones i used) for ex. Secret Jardin= total shitWeek 2

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering.
Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?Techniques. Defoliation
