Ixxtabbstarted grow question 7y ago

I'm considering topping her today, and was wondering if it's a good time for it. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to wait a bit longer? She seems to be quite healthy and growing noticeably every day. I'm in no rush at all, just hoping for best results as a first grow. Thanks!

You can top now after the 4th node , it will increase the secondaries stem growth and make a bushy plant. You will have multiple apex instead of one and you will be able to manage an even canopy to maximise your grow space. If you,'r not in a rush it's perfect , you'll lose a week or 2 or maybe less

Still a relative noob, so please excuse my ignorance. What fertilizer is good for the full cycle (veg, flower, bloom) that is easily available and not outrageously priced? Using a peat/sphagnum mix, virgin soil.... Thanks in advance!

Defoliation Should I remove the smallest and lowest stems of the plant on 6th week? I'm pretty sure they will be useless being that small and down but will it help in some way?

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.

Is it time for light defoliation?These plants are all 4 almost 5 weeks since seed. Top leaves on the large one at the back are shadowing those beneath it. A couple leaves at the bottom are extremely limp due to not receiving enough light. Is it time for a light defoliation? How do I distinguish which leaves?

Late Defoliating or No?Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all

This is my very first autoflower grow so i'm not entirely sure what to expect.... My question is whether or not autos do a flowering stretch like photoperiods or does growth begin to slow at pre-flower?

Defoliation Hey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?
