It's not as pretty, but if you want to increase light without defoliating you can move some of the leaves around and tuck them behind others. You can bend or stratch some of the leaf stems to get them to bend into a different direction, though I know that can get old quick especially with a larger number of leaves.

It's a personal choice but removing some that are blocking the light right above the tips would be helpful. I personally don't cut them off well not totally I scissor through leaves. To me half a leaf is getting more energy than no leaf..just don't go crazy..

Personally, I would remove the leaves blocking bud sites.

Since this is my first time with topping and LST, it would be nice to have some feedback/comment from other growers. I'm wondering when i can switch to 12/12: I'd like to do this ASAP since the temperatures will raise a lot in summer (i expect 30°C in the end of june)

Trichomes are not turning amber yet. Lights 100% white/Red 50% Blue. These auto's are over 6' tall in spots with Cola's bigger than my fist. Never had a grow go this long so I'm worried I'm doing something wrong.

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!

The GH label states that the nutrient solition should be changed weekly. That seems excessive. How can one tell that it's time to change the solution or just add to it?

Coteleidoni tolti Ciao amici , in cicli scorsi ho sempre levato i coteleidoni ma non vorrei che questa cosa che io faccio danneggi le piante anche se in giro per il web e per le esperienze di altri grower mi dicono che invece levando le due foglioline lo stelo riesce ad irrobustirsi meglio.Pareri?

AutoFlowering plants that do not flower right away..Have you ever experience this things with some Automatics plants? I mean, having some percents of plants not autoflowering, and other just flowering like a regular fem. I know that maybe it could be that the seed bank have a mistake mixing seeds, but I think thats imposible.👻
