Is it wise to main line Autoflowers? I have no fear of topping them whatsoever, but I have never mainlined any strain.

Mrs_Larimaranswered grow question 5 years ago

well some did it, just to try to... but i wont waste so much time... a good mainling takes 5-7 weeks( in dependence of the growth) some do it for 10 weeks. In my opinion there are better ways to perform nice colas and bud on an automatic Plant. my choice is always LST... on good growing plants i add topping and supercropping. But most time only LST.. bcause their lifecircle is so short. and everything you take away, they try to reproduce...... however have a nice time and enjoy your grow. And i can see you already use fertilisers. Your soil looks like a prefertilised product. I never feeed before day21..most time after 4 weeks or before stretch.... more in the comments

Can it be done? Yes, as long as you do not let the plant develop 5 nodes it will not enter flower stage. I would not do it, since it would take too long to finish, which is kind of the idea with autoflowers.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering. Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Auto defoliation Should I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Defoliation on the First Week of Flower Defoliation. Do you all think that I should defoliate below the canopy? I relatively haven't touched them or defoliated for quite a while, and was planning on perhaps leaving them alone, especially now they are in the flowering phase. Would you suggest I defoliate the lower 1/3?
