Should I defoliate?
Nick_Framptonstarted grow question 3 years ago
I've been growing this plant for more a bit more than 3 weeks and it's growing very bushy and not tall. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to help get it to grow more tall. Maybe take off a few leafs? I don't know it's my first time growing lol. Any help is appreciated!

Hey growmie your plant looks great and it will stretch when the flowering phase starts it can double even triple from time to time in height so I wouldn't worrie most growers would rather short and bushy plants, you don't want them to get tall with week branches cause they won't support the buds as well as shorter and thicker branches. But if ya want them to stretch put you light's further away from them and they will but I wouldn't recommend doing that happy growing.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Growing problemMy last 6 plants (different strain and ferti) grow up slowly and with less foliage. Even in pre flower the plants stretch while I do LST, then at the 2nd flowering week they drastically stop stretching, is it normal? Every strain is having the same result approx 15g for plant

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

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…

My second plant is really a midget compared to the other one. Should i be worried? Hello! Growing this Wedding Cake Auto for 10 days, and it's 2 timesSame environment for both plants. Spaces between branches are super narrow. The stem is weaker than the other plant and leaves are curling down. Had a Ph issue earlier. Now giving her only Ph - 6.5 water. Will she bounce back? How can i help my plant? Thank you for your answers!

Stunted growthMy autoflowers that I'm growing outdoors was severely stunted during their growth. They are 8 weeks old, 4,5cm in height and is showing signs of flowering. I was told my nutrients was too synthetic for my organic soil mix and should switch nutrients. Are my plants still savable?
