I wouldnā€™t remove anything from her. Maybe just the lowest node. Sheā€™s tiny and needs a stronger light.

Should I defoliate or not? Stunted autoBasically at the end of week 3 of flower. Question is, to defoliate or not to defoliate? Sheā€™s stunted by about 2 weeks already and I donā€™t think sheā€™s going to stretch anymoreā€¦ would she benefit from a light defoliation? A heavy one? Or would it be better to avoid it altogether?

Cut leaves off?She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter? Thanks.

Just installed my first scrog, planning on flowering in about 2-3 weeks. Looking tips on how to train the best. Should my screen be higher so plants grow into it more or do I want to force horizontal growth and then pull through openings?

When you guys turn the plants into flowering, do you guys continue to tuck the plants under the scrog net during the stretch or do you let it just grow vertically? Thanks!

Defoliating question- early flowerI'm wondering when I should defoliate again. There's a ton of different methods out there and I'm kind of lost. I feel like I should cull the fan leaves to let the buds breath and get more light.

Should I cut off leaves or not?Hi everybody, Iā€™m new here! I have a question: my ā€œdaiquiri lime autoā€ plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the ā€œuselessā€ ones could be cutted off. What do you think? Thank u very much.

Trichomes are not turning amber yet. Lights 100% white/Red 50% Blue. These auto's are over 6' tall in spots with Cola's bigger than my fist. Never had a grow go this long so I'm worried I'm doing something wrong.
