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)

Good luck 🍀

When do you stop LSTing autos? I have some white pistils and have read that is when you should stop, do you agree? I uploaded one pic to this week of my grow.

I think that C.A. is actually FastBuds latest release, Zkittlez Auto. Am I correct? https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/zkittlez-auto

I am concerned at the large crack I found near the base of my plant. I have this plant tied down in several spots and I'm assuming that is what caused the cracks. Is there anything I can do or should do to to minimize the damage? It's been tied down for about 12 days now.

Dear masters; do you think I harvested much too early, based on the pictures? If yes, how many more weeks would you say I needed?

Defoliation
Hey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.

Single plant leaf finger has turned purple/almost black! I know plants turn purple from cold but it's not that cold, just really rainy. What's happening? Any other pro tips for finishing her off these final two weeks would be great too! About to flush. Anything else!? Thank you!

Does tying down branches make a huge difference in quantity? Why wouldnt you perform LST? My plants are super bushy, at what point do they start to take off vertically? Thanks!

Did I over-defoliate these? Are they looking healthy for day 22 or so of flower?
This is my first grow. I know my plants have a shape problem, I didn't know about LST during veg and wasn't taking it seriously (I tried to train one but it was too late as you can see). They had a very rough veg life but now they seem happy in stable conditions. How do I look?

Harvest or wait longer? See microscope images on week 12 and bud pics. 10% amber under the microscope. To me, just looking at the bud with my naked eye, I'd say wait a little longer as all the hairs have not all curled in yet. Also, please comment in the comment section too.

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.

At day 76 for flowering and still not ripe, is this normal for cheese and gorilla strains in soil? Or am I counting wrong? Do I start counting from the flip? Or from when you start seeing pistils?

As these are auto's and i want to stress them as little as possible. Should i or should i not take off the really big fan leaves that are covering at least 2 or 3 potential tops. I know the leaf is doing a good job being there but i also am not really able to tuck the leaf?

Extra branches
I dug up the seedling cause I thought it was a dud. I put it back in the ground and it sprouted weird shaped first sets of leaves. Now I have random branches growing between nodes 1 and 2. I don't want these branches....can I clip them?
