cutting fan leaves
Robertsanswered grow question 3y ago
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.

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)5y ago

Where to prune fan leaves?Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?Week 5

Just finished my first harvest and I was surprised that I ended with an ounce for my plant. I don't know if this is common? Please take a look at my plant before harvest, and see the size of the buds and what I ended up with. Maybe its too dry after 7 days hanging . Any tips?Week 13

Can anyone with experience growing Blueberry confirm the best curing time for taste?
I believe a strain like Blueberry benefits from longer cures of a few months or more. I will attempt to give it aslong as possible but it would be nice to hear from experience.Week 11

Hi everyone, anyone have any suggestions on when to put this little beauty into flower? I’ve never grown such a small plant and I’m not going for quantity here just quality. On one hand I’m thinking I could flower right now at 8 weeks but I also do not have experience mainlining.Week 7

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys.
A beginner question here.
Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom.
If I have to cut them when would be the best time?
I'll leave this question open until Friday.Week 4

What do you guys think about the praying leaves? The internet seems to disagree. Most people seem to think it's a good thing. Everything is in high gear and the leaves are using all of the energy to absorb light. Some camps say it's too much light and it's stressing out.Week 10
