Is it worth pruning the leaves at autoflowering? At what stages is it worth cutting, and when is it not worth it at all? Does flowering slow down if the leaves are removed?

Hello for autos it is better to not defoliate but if you want to do it you do this 2 weeks before flowering and one time at week 3 of flowering. Good luck.

Defoiliation on an auto strain Hi guys, newbie here. I've been reading a bit about defoliation. Should I consider defoiling on an auto? If so what leaves should I eliminate? And when is a good time to remove the leaves? ✌️🥦

Looking to the future, would it be at all beneficial to set up a scrog net following the mainline training? Space will be limited and I feel the only way to get real cola separation if I end up with three plants, will be with a screen. Also for 32"x"32" would 3-4 be too many?

I am concerned at the large crack I found near the base of my plant. I have this plant tied down in several spots and I'm assuming that is what caused the cracks. Is there anything I can do or should do to to minimize the damage? It's been tied down for about 12 days now.

I have been experiencing some high temps (peak 29c in tent) I can't control. I have very good ventilation and my PH, nutrients, etc, are all good. My foliage is lightening to a more yellow-green, does it look like a heat stress problem or just normal old age (day 50 auto)?

Terpenator advocates! I'd like to start using it. Does it ONLY enhance the flavors? Or does terpenator have the ability to override the natural flavors of the cannabis with it's own? When should I start feeding my autos Terpenator?
