I have recently seen other growers partially harvest their plants. I understand the theory behind it, the lower buds get a chance to mature and bulk up. I am looking for growers that have experience in this and whether it is worth it and how you went about doing it.Week 14

Iβve read and researched but wanted to get the consensus of the community.
I recently switched my lights to 24hrs. My plants are photo period sprouts. Is 24 hrs too much for the first 5 weeks or should I go back to 18/6?
After week 5 I plan to flip it to 12/12 for flowers.Week 1

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth autoHello!
Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage?
Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility.
Many thanks.Week 13

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)6y ago
