Shmalevichstarted grow question 4y ago

Is it worth pruning the leaves at autoflowering? At what stages is it worth cutting, and when is it not worth it at all? Does flowering slow down if the leaves are removed?

Hello for autos it is better to not defoliate but if you want to do it you do this 2 weeks before flowering and one time at week 3 of flowering. Good luck.

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?Hi All, As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral. Thoughts?

I’m at 53 degrees N which means we don’t get 12 hours of dark until too late in the fall. Will I need to provide 12 hours of dark to start flowering this photoperiod plant?

This question isnt for this plant but i already asked a question on the other diary. I think i overwatered my autoflower and i was wondering what the best way to speed up the drying of the soil to maybe counteract that?

one milion dollars worth question, if you take a bud straight off the plant and dry it for a day with no cure, you smoke it in a blunt or a joint and its not harsh and the ash is white, does that mean that the plant is flushed well? lol

So, I'm getting an upgrade! Moving from the blurple LED to the spider farm sf1000 or sf2000. For those of you that own this lighting series what would you recommend for a 4x4x6.5' tent with four plants. Is the core spread in the sf1000 adequate or is the 2000 what I want? Thanks!

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)?
