My NL auto is 30 days since sprout. LST done 4 days ago. I’ve done some leaf tucking to help multiply the sites. She seems very short and full for a 30 day old plant. I’m worried she will go in to flower soon and I was wondering if I should defoliate or trim leaves to help with more flower sites?
Being an auto you shouldn’t do anything or it’s too late and you would only stunt the plant. If you want to have multiple bud sites, I would go with a feminized seed. That way you can top or fim your plant to get as many sites as you wanted.
You can still LST if you want to. I force my auto to grow sideways at first. Once I see the the stretch is over I stand them back upright. By growing sideways all the bud sites grow straight up. Once you stand the plant back up all the bud site have their own space.
I have finished several of the NL autos. All being very bushy. I try to do more tucking that being said you may have to take a couple leafs later. I agree with other members I’d let it ride right now. She looks nice and healthy.
