Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?
DrBrotstarted grow question 7 months ago
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…

it's tough to be certain, but you may need a bit less light to promote a bit longer internodes.. or it's just a runty plant.. flip a coin.
no.. don't defoliate the large solar panels to get light on tiny leaves.. this would be a net-negative.
read the 'to defoliate or not' in dr photons corner of cocoforcannabis website... it covers this topic thoroughly.

i think you stunted it cuz of hot soil, so first month no growth.. and then suddenly did something and now u have this, and you wanna give it more stess??? first learn see what it does and keep it healthy.. start again get different soil maybe better light and enjoy the learning curve.

i guess too hot soil which destroyed your first month, and very strong genetics that you still made it.

Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

Is this stunted or normal?This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it.
I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom

Pale and tiny autos, insufficiencies?Hi! These are my bf's autos. They're 4 week old. They are in cannabis soil (peat, perlite) with no additional supplements. About 10 hrs/day of direct sunlight. They're very pale and tiny and have some spots. What's the problem and how to solve it? Thank you! :)

Unknown Intruder alert(?)I have 5 Green Crack Autos.
A random plant popped up in one of my houseplants, no clue as to what sort of seed it is.
Will it cause a problem being in the same tent as the autos?
Can the random one alter the autos depending on its sex?
Or
Can the autos affect the random?

Slow growthBlue Dream has been growing much slower and is about half the size. All 5 plants have had the same conditions and feeding. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? We have been having some rain so I’m wondering if It’s overwatered? Looks healthy besides being slow. ThanksWeek 5

outdoor auto bloomingMy autoflowering Purple queen is almost ready for harvest, I don't know if I should keep her under hot direct sunlight for the last week before cutting as I know it damages the THC. Temp here reaches 32°C and I am afraid to damage the final product with too much sunlight .
