Remove or not new branches
AcidFarmerstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary).
Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure?
My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation

Hi there!
I'd say keep 'em. They are filling the right side of the tent nicely and the tops are looking good in those. If you cut them you need to train your plant more to fill the whole tent if you want to max out your yield and used space

Looks like you've already chosen how your training her. Yes remove them. The shades are gone so will have hard time getting energy to those nodes. Will only grow fluff in the end.

I say your instinct is wrong. Those will grow into bud sites an they'll develop decently into colas. Remember when using lst, defoliation as well as main lining techniques, the goal is to keep the main head lower and shoots before that get time to grow to the same height as the main head. So based on what I've said now, you'd be letting the main cola grow but nothing before that to catch up to the main colas height...🤔🤷♂️ doesnt make sense, the techniques aren't being used in the correct manner. Happy growing

Hey Mate,
If you give her 3-4;Weeks more in Veg., I'd definately keep em.
If you change to 12/12 in the close future then cut it off. They wouldn't have the time to grow.
Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞

Defoliation - AutoHey guys,
What do you think about defoliation? I’m growing two autos in one of my tents and they got huge. I wasn’t expecting. They are producing some buds in their lower parts and by consequence of the lack of light they are too small.

Leaf it alone?So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.
