It's generally not a good idea to defoliate autos, but many times it becomes a necessity. This appears to be the case with your ladies. They are lovely bushes but that means lot of shade and restricted airflow. I almost always have to defoliate as I use HPS lighting and heavy LST. This causes a beautiful dense canopy but it needs to be trimmed back often. My last 3x3 grow netted me 5 large freezer bags of defoliated leaves.

It's not always a good idea to defoliate but in your case you should to it carefully to expose more bud sites to more light. But unfortunately it is too late for that idea to still be good as you are in flowering since 2 weeks so the plant have her final shape and won't produce more leaves. You can pluck a leaf or 2 or you can knit your leaves together ( it's almost require to be done daily )

Definitely need to defoliate them. I am nearing the wnd of my first auto grow and I didnt do a lot of training and defoliation because you always hear they dont like it. About half way through I had to start pulling a lot of leaves and it didnt hurt them at all. My crop would have been improved a lot with earlier defoliation and more training.

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

Flushing with distilled water and citric acidHi guys! Decided to finish my diary (Pineapple Express), which I should have finished a little earlier.
The question is as follows. I decided to flush with distilled water and citric acid. Is this ok or not a very good idea?
Thanks!Week 13

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.

Small EOL bananas, longer riping worth it?I've got some small bananas on my Euphoria from RQS (in my diary). I was close to harvest (probably in a few days). Do you think I can wait few more days for the trichomes to get more ripe without having to worry about pollination and microseeds? Just asking out of curiosity :)

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white
