Cutting off smaller branches ?
Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 3 years ago
My auto is in first week of flowering. I been doing LST, to keep her from growing taller. There are two branches that don't look extremely promising, and I am considering to snip them off to give the other budsights a better chance. What is ur opinion? I'll try to attach some pic

I would advise you to let her be. I grow only autos and a thing that I’ve learnt is that if you stress them this much (cutting hole branches), they turn out smaller and in longer time. Good luck! 😊

I would leave it just as it is, she is a fairly small plant and has invested a lot of energy already to grow those branches.
If you are really unhappy with the smaller branches, you could remove them without causing too many adverse affects, but small buds are better than no buds!
Removing the smaller branches will not make the other flowers grow any larger than what they are genetically programmed to be.
Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

Using a 48x48x80 tent in my basement. Humidity is reading 30%. Have tried all the tricks to raise it and it does temporary then lowers quickly. Reading so much conflicting info. Would a humidifier work in my tent? If so, please point me towards one to purchase. Thanks!Week 2

How do you guys check your trichomes? What % of amber do you have? Do check for milky/amber on the leaves or the bud itself? I have a microscope but it’s very hard to use unless I trim a little piece of bud or leaf off and inspect it on a table with my microscope.Week 13

The latest photos show the growths in Bruce Banner that look like hermaphrodite eggs. Do you think this is eggs or am I wrong? Would you destroy the plant at this point or break off the eggs and continue to observe?
For good, I must destroy the plant. But there is still weak hopeWeek 5

I’m a bit unsure, re: bubblicious, do you think i should fim or top or leave them at this point? as they are pretty squat also do you think putting the full spectrum lighting on now is ok as i have done? i figured as its auto it wouldn’t make a difference, more light more growth.Week 5

Why is this Power Plant seedlings growth slow? Is it due to watering or just the fluctuation in weather conditions even though the temperatures remained consistent. Grow along with me.... I'd love some autoflower tips as this is my first autoflower grow.Week 1

Hi everyone, anyone have any suggestions on when to put this little beauty into flower? I’ve never grown such a small plant and I’m not going for quantity here just quality. On one hand I’m thinking I could flower right now at 8 weeks but I also do not have experience mainlining.Week 7

Defoliation - fan leaves
Yay - to help with RH and focus plants energy on colas
Nay - because plants need their leaves to photosynthasise and better to remove larfy bud sites instead
A well known Phd in plant biology is firmly in the nay camp

I flipped the lights to 12/12 seven days ago, 14 days in to the life of the CBD babies. Is this too soon? Yesterday I changed to 11hrs on 13hrs off, because I was expecting a lot more growth in the last seven days. Am I being too eager after not growing a Photoperiod in a while?Week 3
