DoDhLostarted grow question 6 years ago

I always heard that sometimes, auto's can stay in VEG for ever and wont switch to flower like they supposed to. Am suprised and kinda excited to see it happen with my own plant. I was wondering if anyone had this issue before and were the solutions you guyz tried .

I never had this issue with my grow but I know the origins and the solution 😁 . The origins : autos are a cross between a autoflowering ruderalis and a photoperiodic sativa/Indica or hybrids , the ruderalis brings the auto genes and the pgotoperiodics brings the potency and taste but sometimes the dominant gene is the photoperiodic one over the Autoflowering one and it is what happening to you. The solution : as your Autoflowering plant have a photoperiodic gene you need to switch you light into a 12/12 light schedule to induce flowering like if you were working with a classic feminised strain 😊✌️🏼

Is it really more than 6 weeks? Because your plant looks kinda small. If yes you could try to switch to 12 hours of light for a few days and see what happens.

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds? Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

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.

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?
