Autoflower defoliate
AHG2020
started 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

When to harvest? The pistil hairs are now starting to turn red(more so on 1) and I’ve begun looking at trichomes. More are cloudy than clear no real appearance of amber or red/brown in color. I have arbitrarily chosen day 80 as harvest because it falls on a weekend/no moon.

Defoliation, is it worth it? It’s the start of week 5, my 3 plants are growing in a tight tent and the leaves are starting to cross between them. I’m worried that the smaller plants won’t get enough light but I’ve never defoliated before and I am nervous to try. any advice? :)

So, check the trichomes from this bottom bud... the ones up there are more advanced.. how many days till harvest, what do you think? a sample from two weeks ago already got me stoned... it was a lower bud too =) if you can, post a link to a picture from a ripe bud or trichome...

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation question
I'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

When to start defoliate?
When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

Lollipop
Hello Which parts should I cut to get a good lollipop? The ladies are getting too warm and the leaves are overlapping and sweating. That's why I installed the net today and I'm trying to make even more space. I've already done 10-12 cuts every day.

Is it too late for more defoliation
Is it too late for more heavy defoliation? Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys

I was wondering how healthy she is looking for day 8? I'm running a Promix Organic seedling starter to start as I heard Fox Farms is a bit "hot" for starting. Running X5 COB w/ real wattage of ~250W at 23". Light placement is my biggest concern.

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600. General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!

Basically, my question is: Can it be normal for an autoflower to not flower by day 54? #2 has started budding, but #1 is still just growing. Leaves are less rough too so I dont think its even started the change yet?!?!
