Pruning / defoliation of Pineapple Express auto
Sticky1
started grow question 6y 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?

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?
I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

Has anybody got any good ideas for a rain cover? Im thinkin some transparent plastic kinda thing. Maybe going over the plants with an angle so you have some runoff. it just has to be easy and affordable.. and the plants are pretty big too, im not expecting an easy task.

Any suggestions? Would I benefit if I switched my lights just to bloom at this point. Not all the plants are the same with growth .

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?

Can someone tell me how high I can go with the CO2? It's my first time using CO2, so I'm still a bit unsure, and I don't want to mess it up now by giving too much and ruining everything.

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

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.

Using a 48x48x80 tent in my basement. Humidity is reading 30%. Have tried all the tricks to raise it and it does temporary then lowers quickly. Reading so much conflicting info. Would a humidifier work in my tent? If so, please point me towards one to purchase. Thanks!

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?

I am having a hard time getting a sense of the autoflower "timeline". Many breeders have these "seed to harvest" claims, such as 55 - 85 days seed to harvest etc. My grow is entering week 9, and the flowering stage is just getting started. Are these claims even worth noting?

Any guess on how much longer until harvest? I'm aiming for 20% amber or more for the couch lock but I don't want to be waiting for trichomes that don't actually turn. Since this is an indica I'm sure I should see a transition from to amber it's just hard to tell if cloud or clear

She just started week 7 and i plan on taking her to 10 depending on Trichomes. From here on out just water and molasses once in awhile. My question is do you flush or leech? If so do you add anything? If not what is your reason? Would love to hear others opinions on it!

Defoliate?
I'm debating doing some defoliation. Is the growth of this plant bushy enough to benefit from it? Newbie here.
