Jimsbudsstarted 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

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

Basically, my question is: Can it be normal for an autoflower to not flower by day 54? #2 has started budding, but #1 is still just growing. Leaves are less rough too so I dont think its even started the change yet?!?!

Since the AK-47 is autoflowering, do I just leave the lights on 24/7? 18/6 from the beginning? 12/12? Switch schedules between veg and flower? Thanks.

Defoliating Autos Hi I am wondering what you experienced auto growers would do. I am starting to have stretch and a few preflowers showing. Would you defoliate, if so to what extent. Bottom 10”, upper fans, etc. On photos I would, but idk with autos and dont want to stunt them too much. Thanks

Hey - Big time noob here. I was going to grow on a 12-12 from seed but didn't realize how much it would stunt growth. I changed from 12-12 but in my grow diary I can't change from that. I only had 12-12 for a couple of days. I'd like to remove the strategy from my grow diary to p

I changed my lighting setup for this one and took out the CFL’s from before, I only have a 300W LED grid hanging now. Will this make a difference? And how big ? I also moved the LED a lot closer for this grow. Would the height it’s hanging from now be okey ?

From what point on do you start counting days and weeks? From the day you put the seed in the starting plug? (less likely), the day she sprouts? the day she show her first true leaves? the day you repot her?
