How am I doing

Cut off any fan leaves that are blocking light to potential colas (although it looks like your colas are making their way through the foliage well enough already).

At 4.3 weeks ;you are doing amazing!!! It cannot be better!!! Also your training is on point ;all branches exposed to light and leaves tucked at right places. Keep doing what you are doing and see to it that nothing gets shaded out. If by sacrificing a fan leaf;you can get more light to a branch ;then do so. Simple logic to follow for autos ;donot defoliate more and only remove shaded areas. Keep it going.. this would probably get you 4 to 5 ounces of dry buds!!!

You can keep training until early flower, but I would suggest leaving all healthy green leaves in place to produce the maximum amount of energy your plant needs to grow her maximum size. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

I would trim some leaves that cover but sights and new branches I want to keep. I would keep bending as wide as my grow space allows or till flowering starts and then I would bend a little during flowering but more opening it up. I have height restrictions and like a bushy but shorter plant. Good luck hope that helps. Happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

You continue with LST as much as your space/time allows you!! the more you spread it the bigger it'll grow but it will take longer to vegetate so keep that in mind if time is a factor for ya. Defoliation should only be done during veg or early "pre-flower" stages, any defoliation after that point will only cause loss of energy and eventually yield from your plant. During flowering the plant switches from foliar growth to inflorescence (buds) so new leaves will not grow!! As for your plant I'd suggest a light defoliation at the bottom of your plant and removing any small growth shoots that will eventually become popcorn flowers as long as you're still in veg/"pre-flower" (usually the bottom 1/3 of the plant). Other than that your plant is looking very healthy and beautiful!! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
