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.

Howzit, So I am going to attempt to graft an arm onto my one plant, seeing that I mainlined two great stems and like an inattentive fool broke one off. My question: Anyone done this before and have any pointers for me? Not sure what the likeliness of this working is.

Gorilla Glue is now 60 days old and shows only a handful of preflowers. Some sources say only time will get her to harvest and adjusting photoperiod will not help with auto genetics. Should I move her to 12/12 to induce flowering or is that pointless? Any advice is appreciated.

Week 8, 2 issues 1. some middle fan leaves are getting sick (week 8, pict 6+7 named trouble #1) 2. four bottom fan leaves died out but i think it is too soon (2nd flowering week) for the plants to start consuming energy from leaves (week 8, pict 8+9 named trouble #2) Any ideas?

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.
