Hey mate! No pruning at all for autos would be the best option as you dont want to atress the plants and loose valuable growth time.. maybe some LST (Low Stress Training). Low Stress Training (LST) growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants Good luck 🍀

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Curing and drying tips or info please! I’m currently trimming fans then hang drying for 7-10 days at 45-60 Rh temps 23-25. Then curing in jars. Once my ideal humidity (IMO) is reached do I still burp the jars? Or will they get funkier sitting closed? Last question of the diary!

Clean them up or leave them alone I’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Okay, she’s compact with tight inter nodal spacing - I’m thinking of fluxing this lady! I’m nervous because I don’t want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? I’ll consider mainlining instead!

The last figure shows the topping plan i'd pick for this round, but i didn't manage to grow my plants this way. Better luck next time! Only now i want to know, can anyone point me to a diary that shows a plant that actually is topped that way? Thank you very much. 😏
