Should I defoliate?
Foggedabouditstarted grow question 3y ago
Plant is 3 weeks old, doing tremendous in all aspects. The thing is she topped itself at the first node and is growing extremely short (about 7in) wide and bushy. Should I defoliate? I am planning on switching to flower in 2 more weeks.

She had too much light. That's why the internode distances are too short.
In my experience, you can ALWAYS defoliate autos as long as they are healthy and strong. I haven't had any bad experiences with it.
Generally, though, it's said that you can defoliate automatics just before flowering and again in the 3rd week of flowering.

Let dry out a little more between watering also if not outdoors pull your light little further back. And if you defoliate do it now 2 weeks prior then don’t stress plant much after that

I'm worried they will stay small , is there eny simple whey to slow down this process , they are outside.I need a bit of help. The leaves stopped showing yellow edges, the only thing that's strange they are Pheno's, and some 30-35cm tall, but the hulkberry is already showing signs of preflowering, do someone know a way to slow down a process, and help them gain some height and mass.

Height questionsI am curious about why my plants just don’t seem as tall as others that I see. Overall I think it looks healthy just not as tall as I would like. How high should my light be?? Currently running a Mars hydro tsw2000.
Was also thinking of switching to flowering. Thoughts??

My second plant is really a midget compared to the other one. Should i be worried? Hello! Growing this Wedding Cake Auto for 10 days, and it's 2 timesSame environment for both plants. Spaces between branches are super narrow. The stem is weaker than the other plant and leaves are curling down. Had a Ph issue earlier. Now giving her only Ph - 6.5 water. Will she bounce back? How can i help my plant? Thank you for your answers!

SOG in a 3x3I have 5 plants that germinated in my 3x3. 5 gallon pots. I plan on trying SOG method. I wasn’t expecting all five to germinate because couple of the seeds did not look healthy. 2 of the 5 look less healthy now. Should I kill the two runts now and just plant more next month?Plant.

Plant not growingI’m in week 4 of growing and my plant seems to have stopped growing. Is there anything I can do? It has great drainage in the grow bag and I’ve fertilized it and it gets plenty of light. What am I doing wrong?
