Chi_Town_White_Boystarted grow question 6 years ago

I’m on day 41 and the pistils haven’t really appeared fully. They’re green and not white, and growing a lot of new foliage. It seems like it’s still vegging. Do I have a photoperiod? Should I give it another week? Isolate it and switch to 12/12? It healthy...but what gives?

Hi @Chi_Town_White_Boy! Well I don't think you have a photoperiod if pistils appeared under 18/6 schedule. I think you have a monster, and you slowed it down each time you worked on it (topping, defoliation, LST). You must know that breeder's schedule are always optimistic, you can easily add 2 to 4 weeks in a non-perfect environment. Judging by the impressive growth since last week, I think she started to stretch, meaning that pre-flowering has begun. Patience is the key, keep up giving her good care and much love, you'll be rewarded soon with a monster full of flowers 😎 I'll be around, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Week 6 with an auto without signs of flowering is not uncommon. One of my autos took about 8 weeks to start flowering. But the harvest was huge. Fair trade off imo. I have another auto going now that still has not flipped after 3 months. I think that one is really a photo. Stuck her outside last week and she’s loving it. Hopefully another monster harvest to come. Good luck with yours! 👍

Keep in mind that defoliation and topping can slow the plant development up to a week each, more so in autos and you have defoliated several times. Let the plant be for a couple more weeks and off nothing happens, switch to 12/12.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliating some more I know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?

Defo or not Week 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?
