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?

I've chopped the plants, big one is whole plant and small one in branches. Is my 6" roof fan (seen week one) on "low" (1/3) enough ventilation if they're both hanging in the tent? I've turned off my circulation fan, should I put it on low underneath the buds? Humidity ~55

Indoor growers, what's your favorite node to top? 😊 Do you prefer topping above the 2nd node for 4 big colas ("uncle ben method"), or the 3rd, 4th, ..., for a bushier plant? . Please share your opinion if you have tried some methods 👍

The main cola on this girl has no smell and is not sticky compared to the rest of the plant. Only thing I can come up with is that maybe I burned it with the light.

According to the trichromes I'm guessing there's more than 2 weeks remaining before harvest. I'm looking for all cloudy with some amber trichromes and the majority of them are still clear with slightly cloudy. Anyone able to give me a more accurate timeline? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3?

Cut leaves and LST
Should I remove some off the bigger leaves or is it fine with them outdoors. And do I have to adjust the cables of the LST?

Trimming
My plant is dense, all of the stems and flowers are close to the stalk. I was wondering if trimming all of the sun leaves to make room for sunlight would be a good idea, I don’t want to hurt my plant.

She’s started to lean to the right, I guess I’m gonna have to stake her. Is it normal to become top heavy so soon?

New grower - advice on what to do with this growth below the canopy.
What can I do with this growth under the canopy? I've removed a few leaves to create a canopy and increase airflow (i also have limited space), and still have some growth on the branches. Dont want them turning into colas. Can I remove or best to leave on for now?

Ok so I have added to pictures to week 4. I have been flowering for week 5 and am seeing preflowers. I’m trying to determine wether or not these are male or female pre flowers. I am not seeing any white pistils. Are they male?

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage
Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

I just realized this freebie seed is feminized and not autoflower like the ones I purchased. I didnt use any growing methods to not stress out the plant. My question is should I start to low stress training or topping? Im going to 12/12 light cycle tonight.
