started grow question 6y ago
Upon the start of week six, I have noticed some bud sites... Is it ok to trim off the huge fan leaves to allow more light to get through?

Yes a long as you’re not stripping her down. If the stems are still flexible enough you could consider LST. But be aware that some plants could not react positively to the stress and it could delay the harvest

Defoliation of all large fan leaves
When defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase? Any links that include pics would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you

Flushing techniques with organic soil. I hate chemical tasting weed. I have organic soil in 7 gallon pots. It takes 4.2 litres to have very little run off at the bottom. 3.5 weeks left of flower. What’s your best method to flush plants in the final weeks ?

2 weeks flowering and only one plant is starting to show just one tiny set of pistols that I could see. Should they not have started showing sex by now? My tent has pinhole light leaks around the seams, is this enough light to fuck with my plants?

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically. I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. Thanks

Defoliating Autos in week 7 after stretch
I defoliated my AK420 Auto in week 7 and took at least 1/3 off in order to expose bud sites. Do you like it? Would you defoliate even more? Or do you refrain from defoliating autos at all?

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.
