Any suggestions for my LST and leaf tucking so far? Should I do any defoliation?
Wicked_Stixanswered grow question 5 years ago
Your lst is looking great. I would normally recommend removing a few leaves but I see that your plant is having a little issue right now so I would focus on correcting that before doing any defoliation. The yellowing in between the veins is a sign of magnesium deficiency but I see you are feeding calmag so I suspect you are getting a lockout from overwatering. I would make sure you have adequate drainage and let the pots dry out pretty well in between waterings. This will allow your roots to get more oxygen and let them absorb nutrients more efficiently. Once you get this fixed then you can start removing some leaves to let the plant get better light. Good luck!

Let your soil dry out before you water. Over watering can cause yellow leaves. Happened to me at the beginning of my grow. I forgot to put in some extra drainage holes. I defoliate a little every day. Take a look at my diary. I figure a few leaves every day is better than a bunch at once.

It looks to me like you are doing well at the LST! You’ll definitely have to continue to adjust your ties almost daily and it is a skill that is learned over time but you are in the right track! It look like the picture of the plant to the right could use some light defoliation on some of the bigger leaves but no need to go crazy just take leaves 🍁 that are I. Your way of other branching!! Good luck 🍀👍

Hi @lavos yes, it's a great phase bro while the plant is still stretching. the secret of defoliation is to do it little by little until the middle of the flowering phase, it is advisable to be little by little for the plant not to stress and to delay and development. I was looking at your diary and I think you should take some bigger leaves off the main branch, it will penetrate much more light on all the other branches

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Enough LST for an autoflower?I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
