Cutting stems on auto plants?
torgul2000started grow question a year ago
Here my biggest question for auto flowers as it’s my first auto flower session indoor… and under led lamps.
Should I make some place under the plants where light cannot go ? Or have I to let the plant grow up whiteout cutting stems ?.
Some won’t receive any light (see pics)

Hey there... the answer is defoliate!! Currently doing the same autoflower grow 19 plants topped and totally fan leaves removed for better light penetration to lower buds. Also lollipopped them all. They are ruderals!! Responds well to stress ;just feed accordingly. Also defoliation helps lower humidity! So go for it in weeks 4 to 6 in autos. It works great. Hope that helps.

You can still gently tie branches were you want them to go or trim or tuck .grow them horizontal next time works way better gets rid of atypical growth, lots of more even colas instead one big top that has more chance bud rot

You can defoliate/prune autos best time to start doing this is week 2 or 3 after the stretch pruning can redirect the energy as well as defoliate the lower half for the same effect!

Are you talking about doing some defoliation? Yes, this is perfectly fine and quite sensible if you need to get light down to the lower buds... I wouldn't treat an indoor grow differently than an outdoor grow in that regard... actually, the sun can penetrate the canopy a LOT better than LED lights - so lighten it up! :-D
Good luck...

How can I make this better?How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.

Re-vegging adviceI'm trying to stop my plants from flowering. They started to approx a week ago and I've increased the light period and decreased the resting to only a few hours a night. I'm wondering if it's best to cut the small buds forming or allow to continue.

To trim or not to trim - bud sitesAt this point during flowering, this is where I see different information. Should I allow all bud sites to do their thing?
From reading, the growing community is split where some people trim off lower and others seem to say if there’s a bud leave it.

Accidental cloning?I did something stupid today call it a learning curve. But I trimmed a few fan leaves to open up for flowering and wasn’t looking and cut of a bud site. I put it in some soil with some water. Will that take root? Is that an accidental cloning?

2nd Run Off Photoperoid Indoor → Outdoor TransitionThinking of planting this outside after harvest...
1) chop just the cola branches, leave all lower nodes/branches
2) reveg the plant to regrow leaves/branches from lower nodes
2.5) transplant outside once ready
3) harvest the plant a 2nd time.
