Bonjour Dr Mambo , tout dépend tu peux avoir avoir beaucoup de réponses différentes. Perso ,je ferais juste une légère défoliation. Pour permettre un meilleur accès de la lumière à l'interieur de ta canopée. Je ferais aussi du LST pour permettre a tes branches secondaires de ce développer. Meilleurs Voeux pour cette année 2021 avec beaucoup de fleurs et de verdures. 👉🤩🌿🌱🎍👨‍🌾😁😁

My "last hope" auto gorilla is giving me seeds (?!)This is a 2 month old gorilla glue auto. It's my 2nd grow and I just realised it's a hermaphrodite. you can see marked places from where (but big one) I took out a seed. But other ones are very small but plenty. Should I somehow cut them one by one or what is right way from here?

When does everyone like to transplant? I've transplanted autos before, but never a photo period before. I know pretty much when to do it, just want an opinion from someone else.

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Leaves. Too many
