Pruning / defoliation of Pineapple Express auto

Sticky1started grow question 5y ago

Should I start pruning off lower leaves and or secondary bud sites / cola, so the plant concentrates on the main cola I have created with lst? Or do I just let it do it’s own thing for a while at this stage?

Supposed to be an autoflower strain. This is week 8 and I don't know if I see any signs of flowering or not. I just switched to flower nutes anyway for one watering to see if I can jump start it. I have a photo seedling in the room so don't want to switch to 12/12 yet.

Should I wait till I'm home to defoliate, or let my plant sitter.I have a variegated plant, but I won't be home for 10 days and I'm really considering letting them trim a few heavily variegated leaves to help with photosynthesis. I'm only on week 3, but she's an auto flower.

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

These girls are needing to be topped, but since i just put them into the dwc system should i wait untill the roots have reached down into the water? Or is the rootball in the rockwool good enough to go ahead and top them, so they can get on with recovering from the stress?

Any opinions on a dark period before harvest? Worth doing? If so how long—24/48/72 hours? Anyone notice any difference or benefit from having it before the chop?

Can anyone with experience growing Blueberry confirm the best curing time for taste? I believe a strain like Blueberry benefits from longer cures of a few months or more. I will attempt to give it aslong as possible but it would be nice to hear from experience.

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

My plants have a dense foliage and some branches are outgrowing the main colas. I've been tucking the fan leaves around and I tried to gently push the branches to the sides but I think that might not be enough. What can I do to fix both things without stressing them too much? 😵

Pruning lowest nodes?Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage? They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites. Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)
