Vxlypsstarted grow question 5y ago

She just started flowering, do you think I should cut the leaves at the base of the stem? she is an autoflowering plant so maybe it would cause her too much stress? Thank you very much

Why bother it'll just use the energy to make new ones and those buds are going to be LARF no matter what they are are the bottom of the plant leave them remove leaves once they go yellow

Cant seem to get soil ph to go up. What is the cause and what am I doing wrong. Everything was great until flower so I'm guessing it's the bloom boosters. I've fed light and watered til at least 5% runoff the entire grow.

Only grown autos before which i know are light feeders and i only started them off with plain water then root booster until a week or so old and was wondering should i do the same with these photoperiods or should they be fed more even at seedling stage?

Anyone had a pepper-y aroma in a pheno of something normally very tasty? The other plants are really quite nice, very Kush-y - had a few popcorn buds in the vape - but one has this really stinging black pepper aroma to it. Will this turn into something more pleasant with curing?

Experienced Defoliation User Question Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

2 weeks flowering and only one plant is starting to show just one tiny set of pistols that I could see. Should they not have started showing sex by now? My tent has pinhole light leaks around the seams, is this enough light to fuck with my plants?

Can anyone give some tips on defoliation? Is it bad to do it now that I've just started flower? Was thinking of just hitting the lower area of the canopy and leaves covering bud sites?
