Cream mandarine auto
m0useanswered grow question 3 years ago
That's a nice and big looking auto, congrats.
I would try and use some LST to allow better airflow and light though. just tie the branches down and fan the plant out.
The option of defoliation is there but Autos do go into shock easily, if this was to go into shock it may have diminished yields.
If you where really stuck on the idea of it, Only removed 10% or less of leaves. Its going to require a lot of them to grow big.
Plus defoliation should only be used to increase airflow and light penetration.
Again I don't think I would do that on this plant though. Increase airflow and light by LST, spread em out.
Good Luck and Happy Growing!

Defoliating autos will set harvest back due to stress. I would tuck all I could.

I would just fold and tuck them in to let light in. Autos can be fussy when stressed.

Is it a twin possibly?One of my plants has been growing significantly slower than the others right from the get go, and then during this week I noticed how it finally popped it's second set of leaves, only there was two sets of leaves. So the question is, do I have a twin or is this just normal?

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Too many leaves?So everything seems fine but I feel like there are way too many leaves that over shadows what's below. Should I do something that could be beneficial? Or just leave it as it is? Maybe some defoliation, little by little, to not stress the plant? It's in week 9 now.
