In growing Auto's - do you recommend removing...
CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 3 years ago
hey there Capitain_7, The only thing that you can do to increase your yield is to promote latteral branching. That is when there are other branches not just the apex/main cola. So if you LST you get bigger latteral branches so more yield. If you remove the side branches you will get YIELD1 = YIELD - Side Branches .... so you can do it because you can do what you want, but if you do it then you will have less product to share with me, so please dont do it. Some growers in morocco used this technique in their hash fields, but they are far from us now, growmie. Hope this helps ! 🚀

As long as your plant is healthy gentle defoliation and removal of a couple of lower branches is OK
Best of luck with your first grow 🙏

Hello Captain_7 in general with auto it is better to let them how they are but you can defoliate if you want the best is to do it twice. One time during vegetation like 2-3 weeks before flowering and the second time during week 3 of flowering. So yes you can remove lower branches to concentrate the energy to the main branches. If you do it remove 2-3 levels from the bottom not more. Good luck. Bye

If it your 1st grow I would recommend only removing a few of the lower branches. Watch how they grow so next time you have a better idea of how far you can go with defoliation.

What do you think?What do you guys think? It’s the middle of week 7 flower. GSC extreme by ILGM. 80/20 heavy indica hybrid. All trichomes appear to be milky and some starting amber hues. Only thing that’s throwing me off are those white pistols? Good to chop? Been flushing for 1 1/2 weeks now.

More or Less nutes and Molasses?My first time grow and my autos are in flowering. I’ve been giving them grandmas molasses (half teaspn/1gal) every feeding along with her other nutes. She’s been taking them well, should I up the dose? Or feed every other watering?

Awaiting maturity. Guessing one or two more weeks myselfI already have a descent idea how and when to harvest, so I don't really need the full trichome and pistil schooling. But in your experience, how far away are these from fully mature buds? Guess I just want a second opinion. Will they dense up any more? Photos is of two phenos

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?

Sideways colas..foxtailing?Hi. Just wondering if these look ok. Maybe some nute issues but nothing looks terrible to me. The buds feel pretty dense. Maybe I did LST late and kept the cola low. Are these foxtailing? Is this a problem? This is my first every grow so just looking for input. Thanks!
