Both autoflowers on diy cheap setup, not a proper one. They both have nice aromas and this is my first grow, the main question is, how much more i wait for harvest? The tall one is cherry pie auto, the small is royal dwarf auto. Seeds sprouted 23/08

hey 👋 For auto-flowering plants that germinated 10 weeks ago, their growth seems quite slow; looking at them, they still need another 2 or 3 weeks. If you harvest soon, you’ll be disappointed both in yield and potency. If you can afford it, it would be worthwhile to boost bud production with a late-flowering supplement. To answer your other question, there’s no need to defoliate: you would only be depriving them of energy, and they really need it 💪

100% do not touch or defoliate until harvest. Once there are 98-99% brown pistils/hairs, you will be entering the harvest zone.

If it we possible for you to glue a few more leaf's on, I'd say do that =] .mainly that right one. but the one o nthe left oyu can take a few leaves out if the are overlaping bad. id take those bottom ones that are yellowing fist .see how she looks than re asses. you really want to minimize how many leafs you take off. sometiems it makes sense to do, but the majority of the time the plant doesn't need it. You look like you are about halfway through flowering.

They look like they need a few more days the majority of the pistils are white and standing straight. I wouldn't defloliate because leaf is important and you're bare enough there. Well done first grow is exciting
