The Great Auto Showdown

Yes that 6 shooter by fast buds has colas 31 inches tall. The photos have 21 inch colas. The other autos have short fat dense colas that will weigh alot more than they look. The other autos are fast buds Girl Scout cookies. Awesome smoke. But lower on the amount they make. Maybe 7 ounces each? No clue. Last run I only got 2 ounces from GSC I think but I didnt train them at all that time. These were topped and lst.
 
Leave all the growth even suckers until the last 2 to 3 weeks. If it's really humid go ahead and remove the leaves at week 3 then the popcorn at 2 weeks. That week will make a difference in the total weight.

But yes the only thing you remove until the plant is ready to start the flush are the leaves blocking growth tips. Even try to get some light down to the suckers. So basically you will only be removing the upper leaves, an any leaves that are fighting for the same spot(overlapping )

Does that help?
 
I would say heat and maybe a bit late on water. I've had that happen twice inside. Only one plant out of 6 in the tent. It never formed proper buds. What it did do was have the same number of trichomes it would have had with huge buds. It was a sativa and it made you feel like you could conquer the world. I miss that smoke. Lol
 
Some buds just dont look like what's in the magazines. The best smoke I've ever had, and I mean all of the best smokes, were ugly as hell. But one toke of it and everyone just wanted it all. But alas no. Mine mine mine
 
I just top my plants when they ask for it. I just know. And I change the node from plant to plant. Yours look great. I'm just an oddball. All my plants of the same strain look exactly the same regardless. Retodd says he can tell my plants just by one quick glance.
 
That is how I do it about half the time. The other half I top them, wait for the new branches to get long enough and form a T with them. So my plants are either a ¥ or a T
 
Ran out of time before I could finish but started defoliating:

That's a lot of leaf!

Hope I'm doing this right. Worried this will stunt or hermie them but have to trust the experts!
 
If the plant is growing fast it will make it grow faster. So just uncover the growth tips or buds, make sure air is flowing through the plant, and your golden.
 
Great they are definitely growing fast every day so should be ok. I have 2 fans pointing upwards to create the breeze like you previously suggested. Considering buying a couple more. Luckily tent RH is low 50s so not too bad.
 
Are you going with one of the type where the blackout cover/roof can open/close via motor? I saw one on a show called cannacribs or something similar and it looked amazing.
 
Just a few photos of Lavender F23ish. So much frosty goodness all over those leaves. It's exciting seeing this one develop. Looks like still a way to go, but those leaves are making a nice thick layer of trichs.

Should I worry about the very tip of several leaves curling down? You can see a few of them in the photos. Plant keeps developing so I figure it's a non issue. It shouldn't be light being too close and no discoloration on the tips.

I thought you aren't suppose to take but a small amount off at a time. Does this change based on where the plant is at? For example maybe only remove 10% or less of leaves at once during veg, but defoliate at the switch has different rules and will be fine to clip it all at once?
 
Same here, LOL. I guess it's like an ass backwards cloning. I trimmed my CY-CLONE shell back and will post on its progress for a re-veg. I wish I had an Auto Flower shell to try . That would be super cool !!
 
She looks real pretty glistening in the sun Canuck147 ! Soon you will get the sag (weight) from those nice buds. Nice ODG ! Good Growing !!
