ElMalostarted grow question 7 years ago
I'm hesitant to defoliate since this is my first auto grow but the blueberry is damn bushy the tangerine dream could use a touch up too. Would you remove all the big fan leaves, half of them or what would you recommend? Tucking/tying down leaves is no issue if low stress is key.

Hi buddy,
For me, basic rule would to be to defoliate anything blocking bud sites/ growth shoots from the light.
Tucking can help but something you may need to do frequently.
LST will help shape your plants to how you want so I’d recommend also doing that. Check my diary (Stardawg and girl Scout cookies) you’ll see what a difference it’s made to the plant I Lst’d. But feel free to message me and I’ll walk you through. Good luck and hope it goes well

Dial back the feeding a bit if you are experiencing some clawing, try 1.2 EC for now. When defoliating the idea is to remove leaves that are blocking light from other leaves, sometimes you have 5 leaves on top of each other and only the top one will get light; when in doubt do it gently, a few leaves at a time and don't do it until the 3d week of flowering, when the stretch is done.

I agree with both below. I know many companies recommend being as gentle to the autos as possible as their timer is set and ticking away. I think LST, is a good idea definitely, and then if there are big leaves still in the way after that...then pluck as few as you need to, they need as many leaves as they can get to feed and fatten the buds, however if they're blocking a budsite like they said below, I would surely remove at least those. Autos are amazing...but from what I understand, many things there's either not time for them to bounce back, or correct an error.
The plants look beautiful and strong though, great job with these fast ladies.

With my autos I defoliate by looking down on the plant and removing any leaves that are blocking bud sites. I typically need to do this twice, once near the end of veg and again about 1/2 way into flowering. I let the Plant dictate how many leaves are removed based on how many leaves are blocking bud sites. Hope this helps. Good luck!

What are these symptoms?Hello everyone!
My plant is currently experiencing a few symptoms that I don't quite understand. Pics 1 and 2 show them the best, with the leaves from pic 3 to 5 having similar, not so heavy symptoms.
Pic 6 I believe is something else, Not windburn though, leaf is too far inside

Sugar leaves turning whiteI am approaching end of flowering, it's 3 weeks remaining. One of the flowers on Laughing Buddha sugar leaves turn to white - first at the edges. I did cut them, should I worry? Or is it normal and genetics related? Pic with most leaves removed but I circled some with symptoms.

[Athens Growers - tap water and salts]Hello fellow growers!
First timer here. Noticed salt residues on top of leafs (D19 pics).
They come from the mist maker who controls humidity levels
1) How to treat their leafs?
2) a tap water filter will improve the situation or salts are normal?
Peace! 👊

Brown spots/yellow tips after accidentally breaking a bladeHi!
I accidentally broke an older blade from one of her leaves, and after a couple of days that leaf started getting brownish spots and slightly yellowing tips.
Is this normal to happen after a broken blade and will eventually die off? Or is this any sort of deficiency?
Thanks !

Signs of an issue using Coco CoirI noticed two leaves (on the same branch) are showing signs of something. It looks like it may be a deficiency of some sort but I am not sure. I tested my EC and the run-off EC was off the charts >7000. I am growing in Coco and I am new to testing EC. Need advise.
