I would definitely do a little bit of defoliation but not drastically on a auto I don't grow autos anymore as they are to stroppy and can stunt if getting stressed photos all the way for me they looking good for autos mine always stretch to much or stunted so I'm staying away from them people say that they are easy to grow buy I find photos are more controllable and you have time to let them recover from any stress which you don't get with autos happy growing and I'm happy to help if you message me I will start following you now but the plants are nice for autos good luck from uk

I would do some selective defoliation. Autos are sensitive. I would open up inside some and bud sites if blocked. The more leaves you remove the less energy she can make to produce you flowers. Keeping that in mind when you do.

Buon giorno weed doctors, please help understand the issue, maybe smb has seen this before. I lost two seeds of the same cultivar to the same symptoms...TYTwo seeds, same cultivar, 1 week difference, both pop neck bended with white woody spot at the base of one of the cotyledons. Doesn't spray the leaves, the membrane wasn;'t getting off w/o help. And I know it's not substrate - 2 other breeders germinated 100% and look healthy. TYSetup. Strain - Autoflowering

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏
2 main reasons come to mind after googling:
1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome.
2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.9 days ago
