Free the seeds

the buds will start to turn pink and then produce alot more triks. Colorful cultivar, reminds me of the taste and smell of G2F's scarlet sunset.

OK first off please forgive me for anything I have done wrong so far, there have been many in my eyes. Fox Farms Nutrients (BB, GB & TB along with KelpMe, Cal-Mag), 2x2x6 tent, ACI 2x2 LED Board. First time growing anything but an Autoflower and was lucky enough to get in on this deal to test the different plant varieties. Planted 2 sprouts on 8-15-25 into a 5 Gal ACI fabric pot with Coco-Loco and used Coco-Loco. First mistake not realizing too little dirt and not finding out until I had to plant the sprouts. Have had good luck so far with watering and nutrients except for a little wind burn due to my 6" osc. fan being in the way of their upward growth over two unsupervised days. I have been doing some defoliating but think I need more to open the canopy for better bud growth I believe I have topped her at node 5 of 6 as a first test run of topping, when in the 2-3 week start. I guess my first question is when do you start tracking the growth weeks, i.e.: from the planting of the sprouts or after they have X# of nodes or once serrated leaves start to form? I have always used once I see the sprout has its first leaves. I just switched to 12-12 on start off what I call week 8 (day 52 from sprout planting). and looking forward to my test results but any suggestions are welcome. So far my testing is making rethink Autos ever again since I've always had bad luck except for my first time grow from my scammers. TYIA.

Edited post due to not seeing photos of defoliation steps.

whats up, i usually run diff. counts in my head. like i'll count how many days from when i 1st put the seed in the shot-glass to how many days b-4 it pops outta the ground. then how many days from the 1st set of true leaves. i think everyone does it diff. but my ocd makes me count everything. next yr. i will write EVERYTHING down.

Autos start the count as soon as they sprout

I start to count the days when I turn the light on for the sprout. Once I see the cotyledon leaves and the light goes on, the count starts. For the flower period I start the count the day I make the flip to the flower light schedule.

I count words and phrases. I don't like loose ends, so I count words and/or phrases until I reach a round number, lol.

I'm terrible at taking notes.

I loose count after "10"

Figured an update to current grow since I'm up & trying to sleep. Here is a photo from today's check. Sure looks like so little leaves from above. Will have to get side shot tomorrow for suggestions on more defoliation.
