I would in fact lst might be a little difficult as your stalk has gotten pretty sturdy so it may not want to bend easily. But I would atleast top or preferably fim the top to get those branches growing out

Hi all. 6th week (last of preflowering), This plant is somehow late in development but it is quite steady. Should I defoliate her a little bit? The four lower stems could develop popcorn buds, do I remove them and the bigger lower leaves also? Cheers.

Another auto question. Once you commit to a light schedule will an auto be "shocked" should you go from maybe 24/0 to 20/4 or 18/6? Or vice versa.

Defoliate or not Should I defoliate? :-) I see at least one reason already - there's not so much space, no sub lighting and lower branches are blocked from light.

Do i need to defoliate or is it alright for my plants to be this bushy? Just worried about airflow for the coming flowering period. If so, how do i do it? Ive heard of some people that just take off all vegetation up to a certain point in the plant

although it's a great harvest if you compare the 2 same plants they are totally different in color of buds. Grown in same condition with same lights and feeding? Separated them in Curing because maybe they also will have different smoke and taste and effect? any advice?

Leaf colour and buds Are the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go? Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds? Thanks 🌈

Should I defoliate? If so, when/how?Should I defoliate my plant? It is in the middle of veg. I feel it is getting quite bushy but I am not sure exactly what to remove or when to do it. I have never defoliated before. I plan on vegging for at least another three weeks

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!

Make LST or not?Is it better to continue with defoliation only and switch lights 20th of January, or make some lst now and let her evolve longer (until the end of January...)? She had topping already💀

Any idea about how to handle the crowding at top? Should I try to trim back or just leave it alone? Seems like the leaves are burning, but keeping flowers off the light.

Removing big fan leaves Last night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?

Howzit, So I am going to attempt to graft an arm onto my one plant, seeing that I mainlined two great stems and like an inattentive fool broke one off. My question: Anyone done this before and have any pointers for me? Not sure what the likeliness of this working is.
