As long as there is sufficient airflow in your space, that leaf density looks perfectly fine to me. I'd let her do her thing and keep an eye on her if you're worried about mold or other airflow related issues.

I know autos aren't supposed to be re-potted, but the Haze Express left me hesitant to go the direct-in-final-container route again ... and really, if I don't disturb the root ball / pot content at all, how much stress can that create? Will the beasties even notice?

Defoliating Autos Hi I am wondering what you experienced auto growers would do. I am starting to have stretch and a few preflowers showing. Would you defoliate, if so to what extent. Bottom 10”, upper fans, etc. On photos I would, but idk with autos and dont want to stunt them too much. Thanks

Leaf colour and buds Are the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go? Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds? Thanks 🌈

I am about three weeks away from harvesting and have used the maximum nutrient solution for the past 5 weeks. Should I start using less nutrients for the final weeks up until i just use water for 4 to 5 days to flush them?

Big leaves keep or not?Question for all the growers in here. When I can cut those big fan leaves on my plant? According that this is an acceptable procedure. My plant is still in veg with around 11 nodes. It seems that those big leaves put in shade the side shoots, should I remove them or not?

Should I start trimming the plants? How should I trim them? Where? What should I do with the cut clones? I'll have a lot. what should I do with them to ensure the highest number of awesome nuggs? I started some pruning when they were too young which is why they look a bit wierd
