I wouldn't defoliate autos at all the stress can slow them down and if you have the room just let them be that way they tend to yield well :)

Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth. It is that simple! If the plant did not need those leaves, it would not have grown them in the first place!

Autoflower forming seeds or trying to hermie?
Have an auto flower forming what looks to be large seeds in a few of the top buds, they're only a week from finish and this only just became noticeable. Is it trying to hermie? Or if it turns out to be stress seeds will they be autos as well and will they be fem if so?

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Hey everybody, just wondering about the reasoning behind putting your plant into darkness before the harvest? Does this do something to the trichomes or the THC or CBD levels? Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks Much👊

How close do these look to ready? Video in diary
How early did I cut these? I know they are at least on the early side of harvest ready if not a little bit before ready, but the top of the colas definitely have a good bit of amber trichomes and I was dealing with a heat issue effecting the top buds so I cut a few to test.
