I am doing main-lining for my plant. I've followed the Nugbucket's guide precisely but I don't know why the colas develop unsymetrically.

The main goal of this technic is to build a hub to keep it symmetrical. You should have plug off the big fan leaves in week 5 to keep under control, otherwise everything was going perfectly. It is still a nice plant and if it a first attempt well congrats bro. Next attempt would be perfect 👌

It's because this technique is tricky. You have to make sure you keep all growth even like you would in flower so energy is distributed through plant evenly. Also some strains will grow unsymetrically. That's why u need to match strain with technique you are going to use.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation of all large fan leaves When defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase? Any links that include pics would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you
