And then should I ? Or can I take off these small buds sites ? Or just let them go and see what happens ? Those little guys

Yep, sure is. Sheās showing her ābuttonsā, and will soon pop out pistils in big clumps.
As far as that lower stuff, personally I cut it all off, and I think the earlier the better. My thought is a plant has a finite amount of energy to grow, and I want it to focus on the good stuff, not the lower stuff that will end up as larf anyway.
Thank u I was thinking the same thing, plant can only do so much and would rather have it all concentrated in fewer spots, then spread out. Just wanted to make sure I wasnāt over thinking anything. āNot that I have ever been accused of over thinking, more like underā lol thanks again

Yeah buddy, preflower is here! I follow a similar photo defoliation schedule with autos Brother. I I remove lower fans and wait until after the stretch for defoliation on those PITA leaves that block the lower buds, I also remove any growth that will never see the light

looks great and works for photos
These are autos, and has worked out really well for me. I canāt speak for everyone, but seems to me as long as the plant is healthy, you can get away with almost anything. I did just about everything you werenāt supposed to do with autos, and havenāt had any real issues. Just big ol beautiful plants lol

Yeah thatās great to hear like above only second run, and I feel the same. Had very little luck planting in for ever homes so I do small quart containers then transplant, also do LST, a soon as they can handle it, and cut leaves off. Everything that I have read not to do on autos. So thanks again for the the back up

Hi guys just an update. Started some LST in my younger plants. 3 young ones just at a month, another one about 5 weeks and the little guy is just lagging behind but Iām in no rush. She grow up when she ready. When I LST took off a few bigger fan leaves to open them up a little bit. If you see anything Iām missing let me know thanks guy.
Also I have been running lights 24/7, switched today to 20/4 so will see next week what everyone looks like. Thanks again

I think they all look great, though personally I would be much more aggressive with the LST. Iād want those tops bent over and held down, but thatās just me. They look really healthy though, thatās the most important thing.

Exactly I can read a book about something but until I do it, mess it up and have to fix my mistake Iāll never learn nothing either

That was how I looked at it. I read so many different things, almost always opposing views on how to grow autos, and was able to see success on either side. I think a lot comes down to environment, the overall health of your plants, and the strain. But I love being able to experiment a little bit, and try new things.

Now this is my BB auto just over 30 days, 34 days above ground she looks to be in flower already and she is huge compared to the other. Genetics I guess?
