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

Should I remove fan leaves and continue to scrog
Hi guys I wanted to know if I should be picking off the fan leaves at the top of the canopy... Or should I leave them on? I just started week 2 of flowering. And also if should I still tuck her under the scrog till the end of week 2 or stop now?

Finding seeds on my plant seems like it may have converted to hermaphrodite from a light issue with a power outage. Should I harvest now or wait to see if it continues to bud?

Based on the dreadful pictures I have, does anyone agree she is ready to be cut? Will have to trust me when I say there seems to be the majority of trichomes either cloudy or amber. I know the leaves are bad looking, I think she got too hot for a few days when I went away :(

Defoiliation on an auto strain
Hi guys, newbie here. I've been reading a bit about defoliation. Should I consider defoiling on an auto? If so what leaves should I eliminate? And when is a good time to remove the leaves? ✌️🥦

Defoliation needed?
Do I need to get rid of these small leaves and stems beneath the canopy for better yield? [Auto flower : flowering stage week 3] Or... to what extent can an auto be pruned at this stage? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Hello there, is there someone who have already used the Advanced nutrients in order to give me some advice about the daily dosage, particularly upon autoflowering sativa strain? Moreover, with high room temperature (about 30° C) how often is it recommended to water daily? Thanks

What do you think how much longer for the Quick One, around 2, 3 weeks? I was thinking of feeding her one more time in the next couple of days and then start to flush. Do you have any guesses on the yield of Quick One? Also curious to what that deficiency is showing on the leaves

So my question is basically if my main stem was accidentally supercropped in week 3 of flower do I just repeat this week's nutrient schedule and act like I'm just extending everything by a week (assuming the plant only needs a week to recover)?
