Defoliating Autos in week 7 after stretch
I defoliated my AK420 Auto in week 7 and took at least 1/3 off in order to expose bud sites. Do you like it? Would you defoliate even more? Or do you refrain from defoliating autos at all?

Originally wasn’t going to top. Now it’s day 26, will start flowering any day and I want to top. I think I’m too late. Anyone have any experiences?

Does anyone know what the really small silver streaks could be? Im growing in a cupboard which is a consistent temp of 22 Celsius. Have checked undersides of leaves for pests and cant seem to see anything. Is it a nutrition deficiency. I have not used any fertiliser yet.

My previous grow was from feminized seeds. Upon grinding the flowers I found few healthy seeds in the buds. Are those seeds feminized? and where did you find the answer. Thanks so much gents

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!

How often should I be defoliating during flowering? I still have a lot of small low down branches and leaves to cut, I don't really want any popcorn buds.

Dutch bucket, hempy bucket, bato bucket, etc etc... Conventional medium is perlite/vermiculate. Recent trend has seen some growers go coco above the dutch hole, and perlite below. For those that have tried both, what is best? And why?

This q is for my Candy Cane Auto. I know I likely should have went right into a 3+g pot, instead I used a jiffy puck and a small container with my medium of choice. I decided that I best transplant before she gets too developed. Will she be stunted? They are at day 6, all intact.
