Is my plant proper size for topping her?
LongJohn420answered grow question 5 years ago
Hi! Yes she looks good sized for that. usually good time to do that is after 4th or 5th node.
Some say that topping autos is not wise but I seen good topped auto grows plenty here so...
Happy growing!
Athosanswered grow question 5 years ago
Autos have a very small window of opportunity for TOPing, it has to be done above the 4th node, removing the 5th pair of leaves, before they fully open, by the picture it is hard to tell, but it looks like it's past that point and it's on the beginning stages of flowering. I would not top it at this point.

Hi there mate Yes she can be topped now!!
It will definately make her more compact and hopefully create more budsites for you
Best of luck mate 😀

How much to defoliate?How much should I be defoliating right now? I've been attempting to apply the lollipop method but it's painful to keep pruning. I don't know how far to go. There are some fan leaves that are yellowing and limp towards the bottom which don't recieve as much light. Clip em too?

Defoliating some moreI know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?

Autoflower defoliation?If you look at my latest pics like day 48, does anyone think I should do some fair amount of defoliation? I have picked some leaves that block buds but am torn whether to keep her bushy as is or if it would benefit at all from some decent amount of defoliation.Week 7

Defo or notWeek 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?Week 5

Leaf and growth removalI’m always so cautious about growth and leaf removal. I always leave to much to late into flower and then get scared to remove it after. Would it be wise to start removing now end of week 4 beginning of week 5? Or should I leave the smaller struggling growth and larger leaves?Week 11

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.
