Final Lap Questions to improve Buds

A quick look through your pictures tells me you probably were not using enough light to really develop your plants. Your seedlings got pretty leggy trying to reach up for more light, and your vegetative growth looked extremely slow also. With autoflowers the kind of growth you get at the start will mostly dictate how the rest of your grow goes. I doubt there's much you can do at this point to really get massive buds, but it is a great opportunity to start analyzing your light situation for next time. I would measure your light output, either with a PAR meter or with a phone app like Photone and figure out how to get your light situation fixed.

I would do some more defoliation on the last pic.. that looks pretty dense and you'd need to get some air flow through it as it's in flower and you don't want to risk picking up a fungus... As far as LST is concerned - why? I've had to do LST up to the week before harvest but that was only because the buds were about to mash into the light that I couldn't raise even more more mm! So you would need a reason... and if it's to get more light to lower bud sites, that's ok... but don't do LST (or any technique) because you think you "have to" ... Light is one of the most important things to pay attention to in the flowering stage... the more light the buds get, the larger they'll be ... so if there are leaves shading a bud sit, trim them off.. if you can LST the bud sites out away from the main plant to get them more light, do that... if you can accomplish it by simply tucking the leaves under the bud sites, do that.... the leaves do provide the photosynthesis all plants need to grow and be bountiful... Good luck!

Ciao! Io di solito faccio lst fino alla seconda-terza di fioritura, dipende da quanto stretching fa la pianta! Per le tue direi che vanno bene così :) Per la defoliation, puoi farlo sulle foglie che coprono altri fiori, oppure su foglie che non prendono minimamente luce (in questo caso io di solito faccio il lollipopping, ma se non sei esperto tranquillo, puoi evitarlo!), E comunque essendo autofiorenti potresti anche evitare del tutto la defoliazione! Per la luce ne hai due da 100W, quindi vanno bene(io ne uso una da 150 per 4 piante) al massimo le sistemi in modo che tutte le piante prendano la stessa quantità di luce :) Happy growing!
