Defoliation of Auto-flowering plant
Teh_Saccadestarted grow question 4y ago
Auto experts!
I have been keeping this one very low & it is producing many shoots with pistils.
I'd like to remove some fan leaves, but Idk if this is a good idea, since it is flowering after only a month..!
Do you think it would be ok to do this for more light..?
Thanks! :D

1st try tucking the leaves behind to expose more flower sites. I wouldn't really defoliate her until she really kicks into gear and explodes in growth.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

My seedling has two stems, each with 3 cotyledons. I have so many questions, please answer them all 🙏
1 - Have you seen this or heard of this before?
2 - Should I try to separate them?
3 - Should I kill one? If so - kill short fat and stumpy or tall and skinny?Week 1

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Not sure what’s going on with “Kings Banner #1”, with its hanging leaves, but have a feeling it’s been over watered. Plants were watered on 6/4, fed on 6/8, and watered again on 6/11. Due to flip to flower and feed on 6/15. Should I wait longer to feed make sure she dries out?Week 4

"First grow" unknown strain. She was veggied for 7 weeks and is 1 day from 28 days flowering. What are your opinions based on looks? What could have been done better? Your thoughts? She smells of skunk and looks very nice in person. Buds are beginning to fatten!Week 12

Starting week 8 and the bud size isn’t what I expected it to be. There is a lot of buds but they are mostly popcorn size. I’m thinking this might be the result of not doing LST and letting it do it’s thing. She is still feeding and growing vertically closer the the light but showing no signs of heat stress. I added a second light for the lower bud sights. Any suggestions would be great.Week 8

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?Week 3
