answered grow question 7y ago
lol i do and i dont sometimes depends on how shitty the city's with the water that week, my thing is adding plenty of beneficials , they'll usually keep the pH buffered, otherwise you gotta go the additive or pH down route... no shame in that ! 👊

Defoliating FastBuds Autos
Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

Please see April 3rd photo and weekly update comment. Considering snipping the lowest 2 growth tips early in an effort to focus more energy higher up the plant. This is an auto specific question and I will be doing lst regardless. All thoughts welcome👊

Not sure about this, I dont think this plant is flowering but it was supposed to be an autoflower. Might have to move this outside as I'm running out of room inside and I think it will not be able to get harvested.

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

Is it actually showing signs of preflowering? I'm started to think I bought a feminazed Mazar and I don't remember lol. Maybe I'm just too eager for her to flower, next Monday will be week 8 and it's only showing this

I am using a 300 Watt LED light with a Veg and Bloom Function. Currently Light is 27" from soil surface and only on Veg setting. I am also using a LUX meter app (not sure how accurate they are. I am getting about 10 500 - 11 000 Lux at plant height. Is 11 000 a little bit too?

2 weeks flowering and only one plant is starting to show just one tiny set of pistols that I could see. Should they not have started showing sex by now? My tent has pinhole light leaks around the seams, is this enough light to fuck with my plants?

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

I'm trying to find some information on whether or not we should keep the plant in 24-72 hours of darkness before harvest. Some people say yes, some say no, I was wondering what the community thought and practiced.

I've had a real issue with defoliation. Not really sure how much leaves to remove without causing harm to the plant. Where should I start and what is a good procedure to follow.
