Looks like your lighting is too strong for this stage. As far as defoliation goes I would lst it then selective defoliate. Autos are not like photoperiod plants when it comes to their advanced speed of growth.

I'm looking for someone that is familiar with H&G nutes. Their feed schedule says to use top booster week 6, based on what I've got going should I do that or should I wait a week or two?

I’ve done a massive defoliation on my plants. I’m not sure if I took too much off, but I followed what you said: everything below the net should be removed, and the big leaves that cover others too. Should I change the light cycle now or wait?

So I messed up my calender. Im only on week 7 not 8. But that means i started my flush on week 6 instead of 7, meaning week 8 ill be done my flush. Im getting a fair amount of yellowing. Do i give them quarter nutes next water or just flush to 8 and harvest? Trichomes look decent

Hi fellow growers! Light question. Using a 600w LED with veg and flower switches. I’ve been using both spectrums since starting flower as I figured 600w full spectrum is better than 300w just flower? Is this okay? I’d prefer to use as much wattage as possible to maximise yields.

Defoliate a flowering auto?
Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful? Thanks!

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?
How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏

How much light stress can a plant take? I had a blackout for about an hour this week and now I'm worried that my girl will hermie on me. Should I be worried or does it take a lot more stress to turn a girl into a hermie?

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

Defoliation needed?
Do I need to get rid of these small leaves and stems beneath the canopy for better yield? [Auto flower : flowering stage week 3] Or... to what extent can an auto be pruned at this stage? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Still a relative noob, so please excuse my ignorance. What fertilizer is good for the full cycle (veg, flower, bloom) that is easily available and not outrageously priced? Using a peat/sphagnum mix, virgin soil.... Thanks in advance!

Anyone use Humic acid in their grows with synthetic feeds? What benefits am I looking for? I’ve recently added Zeus juice and I’m unsure of the benefits.
