started grow question 5y ago
Should I remove "buds to be" from the lower parts of the plant now? From my prev grows I've learned that this buds will stay small and puffy.

answered grow question 5y ago
It won’t hurt to remove what you know is going to turn out kinda weak and larfy at the bottom of the plant. It will also help push resources to the buds at the top. Hope that answers your question.

Off shoots stay or go away?
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

Finalise my schedule
I’ve been told you need to have 2 days when you don’t give the plant anything but it’s not what I’m reading. Im sorry for wasting your time but I need to get this down as simply as possible. If I FEED the plant today with my run off, what do I give it tomorrow and the day after.

Minor compost tea - how long will it keep
I have a 5 gal bucket of dechlorinated water, ph 6.5 and ppm 300. Watering seedlings to the bucket is going to last a while until empty. I wasn’t thinking when I made it up. How long will this be okay to water with? I have bubblers in it and keep it covered.

2 seedlings, one cup.
Has anyone ever grown two autoflowering strains(different or the same strain) in one container? Other than root entanglement, what issues did you have? I assume feeding will be an issue..

Plant stakes for heavy branches???
Do you add structural support to branches before they form buds? People have warned me to add structure to my plant ASAP. I don't see a lot of photos of plants with stakes. My plant is really tall & I didn't train it because I was scared to break it & horizontal space limited.

Can I leave my plant growing in this 90 degree angle after accidentally snapping her stem?
Can I leave my plant growing like this? I can either set her back up completely or leave it at a about 90 degree angle if that doesn’t kill her off! Would give the rest more light. I accidentally snapped her but not completely. (Sorry couldn’t update my previous question)

Topping or no topping? Or any training?

ARE AUTOS ALWAYS PURE BREED? (REVEG AUTOS)
What I want to do is try to reveg the plant (going 24h+blue led) after I've cut the top coal, so the lower coals con grow in direct light. Doing so with no autoflowering breeds is normal but, on the paper, autos are on a death clock.. Can you have mixed genetics autos?
