Personally I wouldn't defoiliate it. She looks great. You could open the branches to let her catch more light if you want.

So, what do you think about the twisted and curled leaves? Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Alfafa Mosaic Virus? I used alfafa meal in the soil mixture.... What would you guess? I don't think it is a def. because I used azomite.

Does this plant look funny at this stage? It seems that its second set of leaves is more round than I'm used to seeing.

Has anyone experienced growth similar to specimen 2. (s.2) It's 95% not a pH issue; so if that's your solution just keep it to yourself lol.

Do I need to give her a nice trim since she’s going into flowering? She’s getting pretty thick in the center and I want to get the best plant possible.

Dear reader, I have 3 plants: the one with the blue badge is looking good but the other 2 are short in my opinion. They have lots of leaves and branches but they are like 12 cm high. Is this a problem? Solution? (Lights higher maybe?) Thanks!

More defoliating?
I keep on asking this question a lot but with my lemon 2 the bushy one should I leave her as she is and tuck leaves away allowing light to bud sites or do you think I should do some defoliating as there are just so many leaves!

Defoliate more, or let it rock for now? 5th week in
Should I continue defoliating and removing leaves to increase light penetration on this one? She's incredibly bushy and just exploding with leaves. I trimmed 7-8 larger, lower leaves last week and am hesitant to do more until at least next week. Idk, what do you all think?

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?

Defoliating Autos in week 7 after stretch
I defoliated my AK420 Auto in week 7 and took at least 1/3 off in order to expose bud sites. Do you like it? Would you defoliate even more? Or do you refrain from defoliating autos at all?
