Mrs_Larimaranswered grow question 5 years ago
Iwill start in looking on your Plant, she grows very Vigor, but the internodial distance is very small. So you may need a week longer to start with her LST. Nearly every Plant responds very Well to LST, its a stressless tool to expose the potential budsites to the Light , to have a better penetration and growth.Your Girls needs to have alonger stm to Start LST, so i would chek the distance to the LIghts and give her more distance/ lower Power. So the Plant stretches more in the Search for LIght. That is going to take only a few days and you will be able to start LST on her next Week.If she continues to grow vigor, you can think in topping her too. It always depends in the single Plant if you use the " topping Tool". But LST i recommend in every case. happy growing

Hey man the LST is the easy way to manipulate the girls in just about any grow set up indoor or outdoors . Indoors you will get better light penetration across the whole canopy ensuring no wasted light or energy.outdoors it works to but the light penetration outdoors is more intense and deeper penetrating so it is more beneficial in the indoor setup . My gorilla glue and OG Kush were both done with LST one is outdoor the other was indoor they were started with LST when the 4th node was developed . Your girls would be good too just with autoflowers they don't always respond well to this technique and it could possibly cause a loss in yield use it slowly and properly and you'll be happy with results ...cheers

I always recommend at least doing lst. Even if a plant is a slow grower then gently bending the stem is not going to hurt it. It is going to increase your yield and help fill up all the available space in your grow room. I always take mine further than that with topping and hard training. And this is just my personal preference. I know a lot of things that work for one person dont always work for others. My thought are why have one main cola when there is a possibility to have ten or more.... best of luck on the grow however you decide to treat her!

Defoliate a flowering auto?Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful?
Thanks!

LollipopHallo
Welche Teile sollte ich abschneiden um ein gutes lollipop hinzubekommen. Den Damen wird es zu warm und die Blätter liegen übereinander und schwitzen. Deshalb habe ich heute das Netz installiert und versuche jetzt noch mehr Platz zu machen. Ich hab schon jeden Tag 10-12 cuts

Defoliation/pruning guidesIs defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.Techniques. Defoliation

Can I defoliate?Hey guys, I was thinking about going on a mega defoliation mission tomorrow and chopping almost all the fan leaves off my plant to free up some space for the buds. Probably about 2 weeks away from harvest so is this a good idea and would it help the plant at all?Other. General questions

Should I defoliate at this stage?Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it.
Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healtyWeek 4
