Hey Hakman, thanks for passing by!Do your "defoliate" ?
what a topic "Defoliation" !!!! what you are doing is great, many say do nothing to auto's but one has to remover some fan leaves for better light to buds ; but for regular" grows (4 months) do a heavy defoliation in week 4 of veg and week 4 in flower stage. other than that remove few as possible ,never remove the sugar leaves. Each one has their own way , after a while one knows when or not when to remove leaves . sound like you have found that spot . Defoliation helps bud development : stands to reason More Light = Bigger Buds !!!!Hey Hakman, thanks for passing by!
If by 'defoliate' you mean cutting off lower fan leaves, then yes, I do defoliate. I do so because many of the lower fan leaves become yellow after a little while and some start dying (I think it is caused by not receiving enough light). I was also told, and read, that cutting off leaves can increase yield as the plant would put more energy on fattening those buds. Also, I've cut a few of the very airy lower buds. I think this is a controversial topic as I've heard and read both positive and negative things about cutting leaves off. I did the same with Grapefruit and she seemed not to mind it at all, quite the opposite actually!
What's your view on this man?
Peace,
Thanks man, I appreciate it!!what a topic "Defoliation" !!!! what you are doing is great, many say do nothing to auto's but one has to remover some fan leaves for better light to buds ; but for regular" grows (4 months) do a heavy defoliation in week 4 of veg and week 4 in flower stage. other than that remove few as possible ,never remove the sugar leaves.

Thanks for passing by Hawkman! For the 3 FastBuds I have used 18L pots, and for the 2 new girls I am using 10L airpots! Heard a lot of good things about airpots so I am giving them a try!Great grow -- size of container's used ?
Thanks for passing by! And for starting this interesting conversation.So may i ask .....lots of GSC i have seen seem to be indica dom but I Noticed this particular strain auto and all seems to have sativa dom.. You guys see this or am i nutz?
I used 22 lite (believe? 5 gallon) they do keep a plant from becoming root bound but they take a lot of work watering every day + adding soil - a bit messy - got bet yields with 5 gallon bucket - they are a good product ! they are stroage now using 10 gallon - man!!! what a difference 5 gallon makes - I double the yields !Thanks for passing by Hawkman!

Wow that's huge! But did you use this size for autos or for photoperiods? What strain was it by the way? :)I used 22 lite (believe? 5 gallon) they do keep a plant from becoming root bound but they take a lot of work watering every day + adding soil - a bit messy - got bet yields with 5 gallon bucket - they are a good product ! they are stroage now using 10 gallon - man!!! what a difference 5 gallon makes - I double the yields !
Whatever is convenient for u.she filled out nicely.good job.Hey guys!
I am about to harvest her!
Should I cut the whole plant first, then cut the buds, or should I just cut the buds off one after the other?
Here are some pics, taken 2 days ago, at DAY 73!
