Should I trim my autos till only the bud sites are showing? Which sets of fan leaves do I cut? The big ones, or the small ones? Help please!

No, don't defoliate. It is the leaves that make the energy that makes the flowers grow. Flowers do not grow on there own, they are the resiult of the energy that is made from the leaves. Less leaves = less buds.

Try only to tuck the leaves of autos and not defoliate them especially in flower. They can go into shock and do weird things like stunned growth or just bad yields. Good Luck.

Hello. Thank you for a great site. My question... week 5 has just completed. Am I looking okay? Am I roughly in the right region? The 2 plants on the very right started off much slower from seedling.

Should I top plants outdoors? I'd imagine the sun would be powerful enough to penetrate an uneven canopy, however I don't have unlimited growspace, Depending on how tall these girls get they could very easily grow through the literal ceiling. Any thoughts?

So this is my first grow. I mixed my growing media 2 parts peat moss to 1 part fox farm ocean forest in five gallon pots. I am wanting to grow organic and have an all purpose 4-4-4 fertilizer and my other fertilizer is 2-5-3. My question is when should I start to amend with a top dressing and how much of each fertilizer should I use? Thanks for the help and this platform.

So #2 is starting to show amber trichomes but #1 isnt in that stage yet. Should i harvest #2 when ready or can i wait until #1 is also ready and harvest together? Is it bad to harvest late? My plan was to hang them both in the tent to dry.

Hopefully not wasting my question here. But trying to enter newbie of the month giveaway. How does it work? How do I know if I've entered? I've clicked the button but won't seem to allow me to add my diary, does it have to be complete before I enter these competitions? Thanks

We’re using all living soil rich with castings, mycorrhizae, sea compost and gaia green 4-4-4. We’ve only been feeding water but just wondering is anyone nutrient feeds on top of using living soil?

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

I am having a hard time getting a sense of the autoflower "timeline". Many breeders have these "seed to harvest" claims, such as 55 - 85 days seed to harvest etc. My grow is entering week 9, and the flowering stage is just getting started. Are these claims even worth noting?

I'm trying to find some information on whether or not we should keep the plant in 24-72 hours of darkness before harvest. Some people say yes, some say no, I was wondering what the community thought and practiced.

My LED light has height instructions, it splits the heights into Seedling, Veg and flowering stages. I'm curious as to what separates seedling from veg stage. When should I lower the light to the veg stage height?
