Hey, I was wondering about conformation and how I should approach these potential males. Should I pull them now? It has been about 10 days, since hairs appeared on the other 2. Probably going in to flower by the end of the week. Should I leave the males until then?

Males normally have thicker stems, so if you can rule that out you've cracked it. White hairs for female and green clusters for males. Plus they normally grow taller quicker, so keep an eye out for those things and you'll be good.

From your pics it hard to see now..i still cant see male tracks..i would wait a little more to identify for sure.
Pollen is still not present if you dont see male balls.

If you've got men and don't want seeds or pollen from them, get them out of there, either isolate them until you're certain or end their growing. If you're seeing spade shaped objects, and they will eventually be clumps of them like grapes, then you definitely know they gotta move or die. The little spade will eventually crack open and you'll see the pollen and it will take to the air and go everywhere.
Best of luck happy growing.

Hi there! I'd recommend to wait until your are 100% sure but keep an eye on them every 2-3 hours so you'll see the 'bananas' before they can open themselves and pollinate your girls. From my experience, this can happen very quickly, you must pay attention everyday! I'll be around, good luck with these beauties!

They look like males to me but there is no harm in waiting another week or so

If you are not sure, then wait until you are. They are not going to release pollen in just a week

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!2 months ago

Defoliation/grownet?Day 37
I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off.
I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites.
I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it?
The two in one pot are taking up a lot of room now

Remove or not new branchesHi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary).
Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure?
My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering.
