Dark period

Killab1405started grow question 4y ago

Is it a good idea to give autos a longer dark period after a good defoliation to help them recover?

For autos it appears to be best to keep their light schedule constant from start to finish, a bit of intense defol will probably slow them down for 2-4 days depending on how much you removed and how healthy they are overall.

Never heard of that, but it’s not a bad idea.. you just gotta try stuff and see what works for you honestly. That’s the best advice I can give. I don’t know how they will like being switched to a different schedule if you’re gonna switch it right back a few days later tho.. like I said tho - give it a try!

Dutch bucket, hempy bucket, bato bucket, etc etc... Conventional medium is perlite/vermiculate. Recent trend has seen some growers go coco above the dutch hole, and perlite below. For those that have tried both, what is best? And why?

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right? I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

3weeks in flower, can i cut the little buds ?Hello ! i heard that cutting the buds that don't get enough lights will make the plant prioritize the higher buds. Should i do it for this plant ? I have been cutting 1, 2 fan leaves every 2 days for the light access for buds. Thank you for ur help !

Hi everyone, I was thinking about getting a booster for my last couple of weeks of flowering. I feel like I probably have at least 4 weeks left so I am trying to think ahead. Is it wise to use a booster for like cha ching or overdrive with tiger bloom?

Defoliation/pruning guides Is defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.

Hey guys, compared to other grows in the week 8 stage, my plant looks quit small and stunted. Does anyone think I could have done something better? maybe I was too aggressive with training or defoliating. I was hoping to be flipped to flower by now.

Light Defoliation Looking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation". What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!

Flower trimming I've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks

So my question is basically if my main stem was accidentally supercropped in week 3 of flower do I just repeat this week's nutrient schedule and act like I'm just extending everything by a week (assuming the plant only needs a week to recover)?
