Defoliation on flowering auto?

OneDropOfTHCstarted grow question 4y ago

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 🌱🌱🌱

Yes you can plug off some big fans leaves covering the lower buds, just don’t 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 don’t go wild. Happy Growing!

More training now? or leave her longer?I've attached image from 7 days after defoliation and more LST and what she grew to today. Quite bushy, should I defoliate/tuck again so more light gets to lower branches? only do some more lst? more lst and defoliation? or leave her for now and let her grow? 35 days from seed

Hello everyone, I know that it’s not a great thing to do but I need to grow this autoflowering G14 as fast as possible (because I’ll be resettling in another country soon). So I was wondering if you people had any tips for growing fast (appart from having great lights and using great nutrients). Especially : - do you think that keeping the plant in a 1L pot will speed up the flowering time ? - what should I choose between LSTing, toping, Fi-ming and natural shape to go as fast as possible ? Thanks a lot in advance for your answers and good luck for your grows ! 🍁

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!

Is it actually showing signs of preflowering? I'm started to think I bought a feminazed Mazar and I don't remember lol. Maybe I'm just too eager for her to flower, next Monday will be week 8 and it's only showing this

I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend?

I'm growing this plant very carefully to not draw too much attention, so i'm leaving her grow without any kind of training of very specific nutrients. She looks about 1 m high, what do you guys think the harvest is going to amount to? How many weeks are left to harvest?

To top again? Or not to top again? That is the question. I'm working in a 2x4x5 tent so my height is limited. Not sure if I should flip now, or top the two mains again and flip at the end of this week? First photo grow so this is just one of many. Thanks fellow growers!

Thick canopy 1st time grower here in week 3 of northern lights auto the canopy is really thick and not very tall. I've seen others strip the leaves but they do that later in flower. Should I be worried or am I fine? What should I do?
