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

What kind of special nutrients is everyone using during flowering besides the regular grow and bloom formula? Can you explain why you use them and experience/history with it. I’m thinking about bud candy and stuff like that etc

When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water

Defoliation in mid-late flowering
Can I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?

When you go to LST , is it easier to do this when the plant is more thirsty as the branches have more give? Also, do our work it until it “half breaks” or just get it to bend without it breaking inside? Does this make sense?

Defoliation in flowering stage
Now that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches? Thanks again, all help is appreciated.

Near Schwazz Week 6 - Autoflower
My plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?

Remove new side shoots at the top of the canopy?
Autoflower is currently in week 6 (week 2 of flower), should I remove the circled new top growth or leave it because it's at the top and mostly getting light? Plants already have 10+ bigger colas each but don't want to accidentally harm bud growth by wrongfully removing stuff.
