Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?
Lavosstarted grow question 5 years ago
These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day
Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?

Hi bro , your plants looks very good , will be productive. You can cut old leaves and big leaves , plants will be in growth in this stage for minimum 2 weeks and if you use defolation can increase the productivity of the plants by creating new branches. The air circulation will be better but also the penetration of the light to the base of the plants but don't stress the plants very much. 🙌👊😎

I would let it focus on bud production. You could take out the smaller side shoots

Not sure what's causing these purple leaves and leaves drying out. Plant overall seems unhealthy near the end of flowering, any suggestions appreciateThis Dos si dos Auto has been struggling over the last couple weeks with upper leaves turning purple and drying out/breaking apart. The buds also look strange to me but that may just be from my inexperience. I'm growing in organic soil and have dry amended twice, 18 days apart.Week 11

Weird leaf problem. Could be root?Hello community. I am currently growing three plants in the second week of outdoor flowering. I'm using the REMO Supercharger kit. One of the plants is behind the others and presented this problem on approximately 10 or 15 leaves. What could it be, a fungus or root problem?Leaves. Other

Regretted ovewatering guy. Still bot enough?Hi peeps, a regretted ovewaterer here. Is It normal to wait 10 days in between waterings? I must say I was out for 5 days while humidity came a little up and temp was around 16°c, now fixed, btw the smallest of the four seems a bit overwatered even with this few. I'm puzzled.8 days ago

Leaves pointing upHello,
One plant has most of its leaves pointing up. Plant look healthy otherwise. PPFD is around 650/700 and light pattern is 20/4
What could be the root cause? I read mixed answers. Some say healthy plants and or strain specific other that light stress.

She has been defoliated quite heavily, both before and during flower stretch but i feel like she needs more.

Does anyone know what’s going on here?Hey I have the following problem: A week ago, I bought some cuttings from a seller, but they turned out to be infested with thrips. To tackle this, I used yellow sticky traps and watered with nematodes. I also sprayed BAC Plant Vitality Plus on the leaves.

Help, what are those weird yellow spots in late veg?Hello everybody, I've checked in on my plant after I was away from home for 2 day. Now I come back to see these ugly yellow spots? During day 23°C / 55% humid. During night 18°C / 50% humid.
Checked the whole bud, but no insects. My other ideas are mold or stress from the light?Leaves. Color - Yellow

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leavesThe top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?Week 9
