Hi! It looks like the flowering is still in early phases so if you feel öike you can still defoliate. But from what I understand it is not that important in outdoors cos sunlight penetrates leafs easily but artificial Light does not

I have a question. I have a 2 by 4 tent 60" high. I have a higrow 2000 watt led. The light is as high as possible in the tent for my plants. 2 plants are 3 1/2" tall 38 1/2" away from the light now. As they grow that will reduce. I don't want to burn. Take them out of the tent?

Hi growers. Do you think that my 35 days old automatic plant will grow to height or she will be still a bonsai? I didnt make a trim. Thanks for the answer.

Does anybody put here has grown this strain? How much more growing can I expect from her? This is my first scrog grow and I'm getting nervous about her stretch! I'm trying to get 6 inches above the net. You see this possible or am I dreaming?

How far do you defoliate your mainlined autos?
A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?

How often you all recommend feeding bud enhancers? I’m use Advanced Nutrients Big Bud & Bud Candy and I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to use it with my waterings, too, rather than just when I feed. Been dosing those full strength but only feed Sensi A/B half dose 1X/week.

Do I flush once, and then start the Nutrients right after? Or should I flush for a couple days? Do I trim off all of the severely burnt leaves? At what point should I do that (before or after flush, after nutrients)? Is this going to seriously screw over my harvest?

Trimming
Should I trim off the sun leaves since my plant is so frickin dense. I’m assuming that the light isn’t making its way down enough. I just don’t want to cut off something that could hurt my growth.

First post / question as newbie, I’m at the point of flushing my space mango in soil with perlite 65/35. Flushed around 40-50 litres of ph water at 130 ppm, ppm went up and over 1000+ then came back down. Is this normal? Running out at 204 now but the last of drained water at 394

Some guidance for ScrOG please
@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm) When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ? Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones. BB (left),Tangie (right)

To prune or not to prune?
Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

So this plant is in week 8 now, 50 days and still hasn’t formed any flowers- seems to be vegging forever. Light schedule is 20/4 - breeder says will flower at 18/6 - is it not going to flower because it’s getting too much light? Is this possible for an auto? Any advice? Thank you
