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.

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes!
I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?4y ago

Possible Over Watering. Can I get an experts look?My plants leaves are looking droopy and condensed. I am worried that I may be watering them too much. I water them with a gallon of water every 3 days with 3 teaspoons of "Grow Big" added and mixed into the water pot. Do they look normal for a 4 week old plant?3y ago

Defoliation - 5th week floweringHeey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high6y ago

Sticky resinous leavesMy Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.Leaves. Too many

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!Leaves. Too many

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?6y ago

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade...
I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.Week 17

Early flower stage adviseSo the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck upLeaves. Too many

Is it a good idea to defoliate this monster a bit? Day 54/24FI've defoliated all three plants 3 times so far and the Northern Cheese Haze and 3BOG look great but the Stilton x 3BOG bx is an absolute monster and super bushy. I am not terribly concerned about larf as I'm gonna make some ice hash but I'm sure that it would help with air flow.Week 7

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough spaceBuds. Other

Late trimming?To trim or not to trim, that is the question!
As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves?
Cheers!Week 10
