ParadiseCrewstarted grow question 6 years ago

Personally I would not alter the light schedule, even if it is an autoflower, specially in the flowering phase, would not want to cause any kind of stress that might make her turn hermy.
Besides, getting them outside could expose them to different temperatures than they are used to and / deal with bugs that are more prevalent outdoors

While autos need longer light hours of hey do need some dark hours as this is when much of their root growth occurs. So if you want to be able to utilize some sun light you should adjust the timing of your light so that you can move the plants outside during there scheduled light period.

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th WeekHi guys !
My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant
Any advice ?
Where should I cut ?

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Cutting or not cuttingHi everyone,
I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them?
Thank you

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?
