Autoflower defoliate

AHG2020started grow question 6y ago

Should I be defoliating? With her being an autoflower I read you should leave them alone but she just keeps on making new buds at the bottom of the plant. Should I remove a few to help the canopy above or just let her do her stuff?

It's a little late in flower. I would wait until the last 2 weeks then strip the fan leaves. Let light and air in and around. Nice grow. Cheers friend

How do you guys quickly battle gnats naturally if you’ve came across them? I was thinking about letting my top medium dry out then mist the surface with a water/organic neem oil and then cover the top with sand and diatomaceous Earth

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏

If plants heal while the lights are out, is it better to prune/leaf clear right before lights out? Right as lights come on? Or mid day?

I'm still prob 3 weeks away from harvest. But my weakest point is harvesting and curing. I've always just wet trimmed and put buds on a mesh rack inside the tent. What works best for y'all? Wanna try something difrent to see if I can step my closing game up.

I am having a hard time getting a sense of the autoflower "timeline". Many breeders have these "seed to harvest" claims, such as 55 - 85 days seed to harvest etc. My grow is entering week 9, and the flowering stage is just getting started. Are these claims even worth noting?

In the cover photo for this grow is the flower in mention. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this is. Its only this one flower out of 5 plants. It's on the plant which has mad genetics, if you look back through the grow you'll see this.

Defoliate?Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.

Does pot size reduce the harvest time? I have another plant growing on a 2L pot, it is a fast strain and the breeders specified time for harvesting is 80 days but (3 weeks left) but i think buds are going to achieves their final size sooner (70 days). What do you think ?
