Defoliation autoflowed
Storkstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hello, am planning to do defoliation What did you all think? It's autoflowed and looks like the bush has too many branches inside I don't know what to do I do not like popcorn and there are so many that do not receive light so I think they waste energy

I would certainly defoliate these... you want to achieve good air flow through the plant and get the light down to buds that aren't receiving any.... but you also want to do it fairly slowly so as to not stress her out very much. Do a bit today, see how she reacts... if she hasn't noticed anything, do a bit more....
What you're talking about when you say "cut everything underneath 4/5 nodes is lollipopping and that's ok - but I think you also need to thin out the canopy a bit...
Good luck!

I've only grown a handful of auto's in my day and I know that a lot of people say that they shouldn't be stressed at all but when it comes to defoliation it's necessary sometimes. That is one big bushy girl that you got lol and I would definitely defoliate but I would not do it all at once. If it were me I'd do a little give it a few days to bounce back than do a little more.

How rare are 50-55 day flowerers?I’ve got a cutting of “pure indica” fr ILGM I’ve run several times now. Pics are day 48 in flower. It seems this might be a legit 50-55 day flowerer. Question is, is that pretty rare? do you agree this is even ready a week from now?(I like less amber) (No diary for this plant)

Defoliating some moreI know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?

Should I defoliate? If so, when/how?Should I defoliate my plant? It is in the middle of veg. I feel it is getting quite bushy but I am not sure exactly what to remove or when to do it. I have never defoliated before. I plan on vegging for at least another three weeks

Is this right? Bud sites creating leaf instead of budBud sites don't seem to be developing instead they seem to be forming leaf mainly on the main stem. In the past when I've come across this I've just pulled the plant out but this time it seems to be the majority of them. The temps have been high lately, could this be related?

How much to defoliate?How much should I be defoliating right now? I've been attempting to apply the lollipop method but it's painful to keep pruning. I don't know how far to go. There are some fan leaves that are yellowing and limp towards the bottom which don't recieve as much light. Clip em too?

Too much new Growth in the wrong spot?I began working towards a 16 cola plant, topping as required and made a beautiful plant.
As it has been moved outside and allowed to expand outwards and now upwards, “Are the new shoots in the Middle, stealing NRG from the Colas?”Week 9

7 week autos flowering??Critical purple autos 7 weeks ..does it look like it’s starting to flower at all? People been suggesting I change the light to 12/12 but not sure if that’s the right thing to do, I did just switch from 20/4 to 18/6. Maybe the extra 2 hours will make a difference idk..

We have issues with pests but i'm not sure what they are. They are like little black flies. With very small round bodies, and their wings are transparent and a bit bigger than their bodies. They are leaving their little white eggs or larvae under the leaves. Any suggestions???Week 5

Accidentally cracked the stem on top what to do?I was looking in LST and see how i’d get this sorted in the small space. While doing so I accidentally broke the top main branch. What do I do? It cracked and stuff is oozing out. Do I leave it and will it repair itself or should I remove the entire top? :( will she grow with it?

Is this Fem seed hermaphroditic?Is this a sign of hermaphroditism? I just noticed what looks like pollen sacs forming on part of my Bruce Banner Fem freebie that I got. Just double checked and there are absolutely no light leaks. I’m assuming bad genetics if this is indeed a herm.
