Thoughts?
Should I be concerned or do something differently? The plants all seem to be very small height wise, but otherwise doing well.

Why do my autos take longer than everyone else with same strain
If you live in a different part of the states or heavy LST make your autos take longer to grow. I see all these diaries that at 7-8 week there’s is not only way smaller ( I only have the diaries going now) and they are finished way sooner than when I have grown them. Thank you

Is this yellowing normal? Probably because of LST?
I am growing my plant with LST and some of the lower fan leaves have been moved down in the shadow. Is this the reason why those leaves are getting yellow and dry? All the rest of the leaves look very green and healthy by the way.

When to start LST?
Hi GD family. I have a question regarding LST on Auto. When will be a good time to start and at what week in vegetative stage? Any techniques far as creating multiple holes 🕳️ in 10. 2 gal plastic pots to tie them down once big enough to? Or Trellis Net will be ⏰ saving?

Defoliation every 3 days during flowering
I heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Small space growing
First micro grow. First 3 weeks plants were growing outdoors. Defoliated, LST and Scrogged the 3 plants to make space, pushed the plants down, and allow for smaller branches to gain light. Was on 18/6 hours light cycle for 2 weeks, changed to 12/12 after week 4. M/F still unkown

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1
Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds. Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out. Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed? Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over. Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer? THX!

Switching to flowering nutrients (autoflower)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to when I should start switching these critical purple autoflowers to flowering nutes? As I understand it should be a few weeks after preflowers start? Hard to tell when vertical growth slows when doing LST. This is my first grow ever!
