Hey guys, Iāve seen some posts where the plant is of an auto flower type, where the growers have topped it. Iāve also heard from many people that if I top my autoflower it will cause stress and flower? Any help clarifying this? š

Since the AK-47 is autoflowering, do I just leave the lights on 24/7? 18/6 from the beginning? 12/12? Switch schedules between veg and flower? Thanks.

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.

What do you think the issue is? Iām using 900w Viparspectar full spectrum (vege only at this stage) LED lights at over 100cm (36 inches). There is a key nutrient that must be used from day 1 if you want your plants to handle 18 hours of direct intense light. What is it?

I have to choose one of the seedlings. Only room for one. Both planted same time. The one in final pot sprouted two days later than "Beer Cup". If I want to go with Beer Cup,then I need to transplant asap? Let me know which one you think looks šŖ.Transplanting is of course a risk

Do you recommend some special aditive to start flushing or would pure water with controlled Ph do the job? Thanks for the helpš

If you check in the video above with the soil I have a lot of natural water occurring in the holes. What's the best way to prevent root rot from occurring given the circumstances?

Breeder says harvest at 70days,latest pics up are day 64 - sure she wonāt be ready in a week.thinking of only starting flushing in a week then harvesting two weeks after that depending on trichomes which are clear at the moment. Why do you all think?

Hello there, is there someone who have already used the Advanced nutrients in order to give me some advice about the daily dosage, particularly upon autoflowering sativa strain? Moreover, with high room temperature (about 30° C) how often is it recommended to water daily? Thanks
