Should I cut off leaves or not?

Greenleaf99started grow question 4y ago

Hi everybody, I’m new here! I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off. What do you think? Thank u very much.

They are technically not useless until they turn yellow and fall off. I personally wouldn't mess with autos because you're already going to get a smaller yield.

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)? *The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*

If this were your plant, what would you be doing to it right now? Leaving it alone? Trimming fan leaves? Are those brown spots a concern (they are only on a few leaves)?

Coteleidoni tolti Ciao amici , in cicli scorsi ho sempre levato i coteleidoni ma non vorrei che questa cosa che io faccio danneggi le piante anche se in giro per il web e per le esperienze di altri grower mi dicono che invece levando le due foglioline lo stelo riesce ad irrobustirsi meglio.Pareri?

When should I think about flipping these? They are just getting tall enough to be tucked under the screen. I was hoping to give it another week to let the small one catch up a bit seeing as it's 5 days younger than the rest.

How's she looking ? Yesterday I noticed that her leaves were hanging so I first thought about over- or underwatering but then i noticed that some leaves are twisting, like the top is facing the soil so I hang the LED a bit higher. Just wanted to know if she's still stressed.

General questions about my grow Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

When would be the best time to pot them in the 20L pots and leave them permanently outside. In The Netherland there are quite some fluctuations in temperature and weather even in the summer. So i want to be sure they can handle it.

Since autos have a finite timeline is it better to just let it grow as much as possible and get as big as possible or have the most bud sites when its starts to flower? I'm doing my first grow and started a Critical Thunder auto amongst my others. Not knowing anything about autos

by looking at this weeks pictures, is it fair to say I nute burned her? I cut back the nutes from 1ml to 0.25, also it's been 5 whole weeks with very little to non pistils, should I be worried at this point? She's grown quite a lot in the last 7-10 days.
