beer420started grow question 7y ago

Dear reader, I have 3 plants: the one with the blue badge is looking good but the other 2 are short in my opinion. They have lots of leaves and branches but they are like 12 cm high. Is this a problem? Solution? (Lights higher maybe?) Thanks!

That's good, they have not stretched because they receive a good amount of light and so they don't need to grow more stem. Keep in mind that what's important is that they develop nodes, leaves, side shoots, not stem. A squat plant is much better than a stretchy one, it will be easier to have a flat canopy and you will have much less risk of running out of space; LED bulbs are great for that. I invite you to visit my diaries where I'm using LED bulbs exclusively, they will give you much better results than CFL at a 25% the power draw of CFL. PRO TIP: take the plastic dome off, it will give you quite a boost in their light output.

Hi there ! I think your lights is not too close from your plants , if you put them higher it will increase the stretch ! According to me they are not so short , but if you want your secondary stems to get more light you can still top your plants. If you take a look at other diadies at the same stage , some plants are bigger , some wicker , it's all about the genetics and the setup ! But your strains are Autos so during the next couple week and during the stretch they will get biggers and taller ! I hope it will help you 😁

3 sets of fan leaves per node on newly topped plants.One cola on each of the 2 recently topped grape punch plants in super soil have started growing 3 fan leaves per node. I believe that's known as a whorled flower?? Is this just an uncommon mutation, or something to be concerned about?

Wedding Glue auto has WAY too many leaves. What do i do with her?What do I do with this overly leafy plant? I'm pretty sure the foliage caused very airy buds and tops. What should I do here? Major defoliation before 48 hours of dark? Leave it, cut the branches off when harvested and run a dry trim or with this should I run wet trim? Thanks!

What do you guys think about the leaves curling sideways like a pin wheel? I thought they would straighten out as the grew, but they're not. Not sure if the next set of leaves are going to do the same thing or not, they're too small. Only strain out of 4 doing it.

Defoliation - 5th week flowering Heey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Is she too bushy/ leafy I was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now. 1. How much to take off 2. Pics of what she should look like after. Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious
