if your tent is at least 180cm(5,9') in height there no point in topping an autoflower.
Happy growing

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?Week 1

Should I defoliate?Do you think i should defoliate? There are really a lot of leaves for being 21 days old, and 3-4 of them are the size of a man's hand. She did not stretch too much till now, so there's a huge amount of leaves in a small space.
I made LST these last 2 days, not going to top. ThxWeek 4

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?5y ago

What is the best indication for me that she is ready to harvest given that i do not have a good magnifying glass to observe the trichromes? So far i was thinking that if 70-80% of pistils turn orange on a bud its a sign that its time to harvest the cola.Week 11

Currently In Week 8 of Veg in ScrOG Setup - When Should I Flip to Flower?I started a Scrog set up and believe I am in final stages to flip to flower. Let me know if I should flip now? I am afraid of overfilling and suffocating growing buds. Do I need to do some defoliation prior to the flip, or wait until a few weeks into flower? See Wk 8 Veg5y ago

Got my Bluelab EC/ppm meter in today! Once I had it calibrated I decided to test my tap water. It came out to 420ppm, I shit you not... God wants me to grow pot! Unfortunately this is also a little high as I decided to test my ppm with my nutes. Note: this water hasn't been left out to evaporate chlorine or anything. Using the Dual Fuel x Terpinator schedule found here: https://mygreenplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dual-Fuel-Terp-Feed-Chart.pdf I took 1 Litre of tap water, and added the nutes for week 3 -2ml Dual Fuel 1 and 2 (I dont have Vitathrive, totally forgot it at the grow store despite writing a list.) Well my ppms shot to almost double of the recommended amount of 850pmm. I am really starting to see why many people struggle with Ntox, etc if they dont use a ppm meter and account for what is in the actual water! To combat this I will probably lug 5 gals water from the grocery store until I splurge on an RO system. Maybe even a cheap Brita faucet filter might bring it down? Tell me what you think!Week 1
