That depends on how tight is your node spacing. Best answer is "as soon as you can", I do it at the 4th week, because of how tight my node spacing is.

My White Widow auto is showing signs of preflowering and is growing large white pistols already and it’s inky the end of week three. Is this normal? Beyond I feel it’s no where near ready for that

Defoliate
I asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. Thanks

Hey guys, just a general question regarding my set up. Reason for trying these Six Shooter is mainly down to the potential big yeilds that FastBuds claim can be achieved. I'm looking for advise on a sure fire strain that can achieve big yeilds. Please hit me up with suggestions!

😀This is my 1st time at growing Autos. I've done photo period's before. I'm growing in big air pots with soil and using the Bio Biz range & Cal Mag. I see most of you guys use many different combinations of nute's. Any tips would be really appreciated. Sauce

Defoliate further or stop?
I am in 3rd week of flower. I did defoliation right before switch to flower and at the end of second week. That was 5 days ago. I feel I want to defoliate more, to expose more lower buds to light, but I afraid it will be contra productive. What do you think?

WATERING w/ organic soil and liquid nutrients. QUESTION - when watering with plain water I leave very little runoff to keep organic properties inside but when I use liquid nutes should I water with 30% runoff or keep everything inside the pot like I do when using plain water?

defoliate during flowering
I defoliated the girls a week before I flipped. Now they are on their first week 12/12 cycle. The bushyness has bounced back right up and it's touching each other. should I leave it till flowering day 21 or cut back now, but I'm worry it will stunt any growth?

So, I'm getting an upgrade! Moving from the blurple LED to the spider farm sf1000 or sf2000. For those of you that own this lighting series what would you recommend for a 4x4x6.5' tent with four plants. Is the core spread in the sf1000 adequate or is the 2000 what I want? Thanks!

Hello all How do you do to have compact buds ? Are you using chemical fertilizer for that ? or It’s just question of nutrients, like magnesium, or something else ?
