You guys think i should remove some leafs so that light will reach the buds? or shoudl let her grow and lose them naturallly? Buds are pretty hidden by a layer of leafs,not? Thank you in advance!

Remove or push aside if you can. Plant looks either top dry or too wet. Pretty droopy. Good luck with the grow π±π±π±

Yes you can plug off some big fans leaves covering the lower buds, just donβt strip it off totally .

Removing the lowest nodes growing on the side branches will also increase airflow and send nutrients to top bud sites.

Yes, you can remove leafs that are blocking main bud sites. It is still a form of stress, so just donβt go wild. Happy Growing!

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?5y ago

I've basically thrown all training out the window. I am not doing much more than just letting it grow. The tent really needs more lighting but that isn't going to happen this grow. I presume that flowering will begin within the week. What do I need to be doing right now?Week 8
