how’s my girls looking? I didn’t get the smaller one planted until 2 weeks after the first one popped. She is a little slow to the game and I imagine she’ll turn out alright.

Hey guys, I’ve seen some posts where the plant is of an auto flower type, where the growers have topped it. I’ve also heard from many people that if I top my autoflower it will cause stress and flower? Any help clarifying this? 🙈

Should I have trimmed the Bush?
More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Started preflowering this week. Pretty sure I'm getting greater than 14 hours of light per day. It's a long Summer before light gets below that, like end of July - beginning of August. Will they hold off on flowering until then or does this mean they are going to flower early?

Defoliation every 3 days during flowering
I heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Any guess on how much longer until harvest? I'm aiming for 20% amber or more for the couch lock but I don't want to be waiting for trichomes that don't actually turn. Since this is an indica I'm sure I should see a transition from to amber it's just hard to tell if cloud or clear

If plants heal while the lights are out, is it better to prune/leaf clear right before lights out? Right as lights come on? Or mid day?

I’m trying to figure out why they are so small and drooping. I have them in small containers and have been waiting until the soil is dry (3 days) between waterings. Any help is greatly appreciated

Autoflower defoliation question
Is it safe to pluck dying leaves on autoflowers this close harvest? It’s ztrawberriez by fast buds. It’s a little after week 8. Based on my naked eye and looking at hairs I’d say about 3 weeks to go and 1 more feeding.
