DoughHeadanswered grow question 6 months ago
I would fix the over watering problem first. Your leaves are really droopy.
Then I would lollypop. The bottom 1/2 or 1/3rd of your plant needs removed. All leaves and small nodes below this level needs removed. It will seem as if your hurting yield but it's actually helping. Remove small nodes that are down low that don't recieve light, and the leaves. This will make her focus on the top colas and will make them more dense.
I would do some last low stress training to open her as much as possible.
After that I would make sure to trellis her or have stakes or cordage to support her, so she can support herself when she packs on weight.
Flip her to 12/12 and watch the fun begin!
Goodluck growmie! 🙏

Remove 50% of your foliage. Not growth tops just big light obstructing leaves that are preventing light from getting to the lower half of the plant. The idea is to thin out the plant so it has very good air flow within the canopy, and so that light can get down and put the lower half of the plant in the game.
Let the plant recover over the next week, then flip to 12/12 light schedule and begin week 1 of flowering nutrient mixture and feed.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Currently I defoliate selectively every 2-3 days, so only single leaves maybe 10-20 total of 3 plants

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Since this is my first time with topping and LST, it would be nice to have some feedback/comment from other growers.
I'm wondering when i can switch to 12/12: I'd like to do this ASAP since the temperatures will raise a lot in summer (i expect 30°C in the end of june)Week 6

Should I harvest next week-ish? My pistils and trichomes appear to indicate its almost ready. But my flower time is 6 of 10-11 weeks. I'm going to check next week and take another picture of the trichomes, but they're at the beginning of showing amber.Week 6
