Yes you should defoliate whatever the fan leafs are blocking the light straight on to those buds that would encourage bigger and better flower . hope this information help have a happy grow

Will it hurt to defoliate every few days or should it only be done a couple times per grow?. Also LST during all stages?

Thinking about beginning a flush. What do you reckon guys? Close enough to flush? I'm thinking 2 weeks left, 3 at tops.

As I move further into flower and the buds are starting to put on a bit of weight, Should I start to slowly defoliate some of the larger fan leaves? Heard some very varied opinions on this but havent seen massive impact either way.

Leaf colour and buds
Are the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go? Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds? Thanks 🌈

Can you make a guess to how long this plant will take until harvest? Is it looking more sativa- or indica dominant?

Yes hello, I have a question. How do u alter soil PH and keep it between optimal grow range? Seems like no matter the PH of water i put in...the soil always drys closer to 7 or above....which makes me think that I have to physically alter the soil but Idk where i would start.

This is my first grow. How do things look at day 5? This is the fifth day from germed seeds placed in the soil. I think things look ok, but I have nothing to base that on. Nothing but pH water at 5.8-6.0. ladies are right around 2" tall.

Q1: I did a slight bit of “lillipopping”, cutting lower sun leaves and small energy wasting budsites. Along with this and slight bits of LST at this stage will it effect bud density for the better or worse? Q2: would a larger space now be worth the effort (1.5x1.5x2m tent)?Thanks

Would it be a good idea to slowly start pruning the lower and shaded baby shoots? I'm afraid it could stunt the growth.. I've previously scrogged my plants(photoperiod ones) at the height of 30 cm.

I am about three weeks away from harvesting and have used the maximum nutrient solution for the past 5 weeks. Should I start using less nutrients for the final weeks up until i just use water for 4 to 5 days to flush them?

How far do you defoliate your mainlined autos?
A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?
