Why would you want to remove anything? Don’t mess with it. Put your scissors away. She’s doing her thing. Good luck 🤙

Thinking about beginning a flush. What do you reckon guys? Close enough to flush? I'm thinking 2 weeks left, 3 at tops.

Flowering?
I shed leaves and do a SUPER CROPPING plant on my marijuana plants in preparation for flowering. SHOULD IT OPEN TO 18/6 FOR 1 WEEK OR TAKE IT TO 12/12?

This question isnt for this plant but i already asked a question on the other diary. I think i overwatered my autoflower and i was wondering what the best way to speed up the drying of the soil to maybe counteract that?

Please see April 3rd photo and weekly update comment. Considering snipping the lowest 2 growth tips early in an effort to focus more energy higher up the plant. This is an auto specific question and I will be doing lst regardless. All thoughts welcome👊

Don't plan on topping. Someone want to talk me into it? Just weigh out some pros and cons; and I'll pick the most informative and relevant answer, and maybe even change my mind. 😄👍

Hi all. Looking for some ideas on where to hang my buds too dry b4 cure. I use the tent but I’ve got plants going straight in and some ready sooner than others. I have an attic but it’s usually over 25c. The wardrobe I think might be too humid. Smell Stealth reasonably important

Ok, just trying to plan ahead. I read many things about making changes in nutes, switching to plain water, flushing, etc...referencing off 1-2 weeks from harvest. How do I know I am 2 weeks from harvest? What are the signs?

How to lollipop?
Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage
Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

Hi fellow growers.I was wondering if bluedream strain gains a darker/blueish tint if exposed to lower than 20 degrees. I know that it is great for resins production! What do you guys think or know about it?!

Since autos have a finite timeline is it better to just let it grow as much as possible and get as big as possible or have the most bud sites when its starts to flower? I'm doing my first grow and started a Critical Thunder auto amongst my others. Not knowing anything about autos

My growing experience is mainly with autoflowers and when it comes to breeders estimated flowering time for photo plants, when does it begin? If a breeder estimates 8 weeks, is that from 12/12 flip or from the appearance of flowers?
