So you wouldn't remove any leaves?Man... I'd toss a net in there. Raise the light and hope it goes good enough
How do you water themCurrent state as of this afternoon:

There's 2x ilgm blue cheese autos in the tent, that sprouted a week apart. Oldest on the left at 51 days since sprouting, 44 days for one on right. They both started flowering about 23 days ago.
I've had many ups and downs with pH control issues, but I guess that is to be expected for a first time grower (next time I am doing just one plant... Roots fill almost whole res).
There have been periods of lots of growth, as well as periods of no growth during pH control periods. I feel like they are pretty stable right now, but they keep growing and I'm concerned my tent is getting too dense and would like to prevent any conditions like bud rot from happening as the buds fill in.
I know the general consensus is not to mess with autos, since you have no control of the timer, and don't want to stress them. I've been removing lower leaves at the bottom to improve airflow, but feel like I still have way too many leaves and basically have 2 different environments in my tent - below and above the canopy. Usually the humidity is higher below the canopy, but had the tent open a lot this morning so it equilized.View attachment 1242292
These plants are ~3 feet tall right now and fill my whole 4 x 2 tent. The highest buds are about 4-5 inches from my light, but aren't getting burned, likely due to my overhead fan.
Do you guys think it's safe to remove more lower vegetation right now, or should I want until a later time? Or do I just leave as is and hope for the best?
I feel like these are very robust plants for autos, and don't see why they couldn't handle it... But just want the opinions of experienced growers.
So what do you all think? Defoliate or not?
I been using distilled water. They drink a 2-3 gallons a day. I'm using lotus nutes. I have a hana pH/EC/temp probe in the res monitoring 24/7.How do you water them
I thought long and hard about cropping. Week or so ago I tied down all the tallest branches... That wasn't too bright, since it caused me pH falling issues again... But it stunted the left plant enough so the right one caught up at least.I know conventional wisdom goes out the window with autos, but what about super cropping the tallest branches?
Nice grow !
I don't think they'll get any taller except for the bud I could just imagine if you had fimmed them they would have been massive bushesI did some trimming this morning. Hopefully they deal with the stress okay. I felt it was a risk I needed to take. Also cranked light intensity from 75 to 100% and raised light and fan. Also turned up lower fans now that there's less vegetation down there now.
Getting about 1000-1100 umol just above top buds. Hopefully my CO2 bag starts kicking in soon. I used a laser temp gun and buds and leaves are 75F or less. Black bracket on the mount holding my apogee sensor was about 80F. Will keep monitoring throughout the day.

If they get by without issues I'll thin out more within the canopy in next few days at a slower pace.
These are autos you can fim or top but it does slow the growth and affect yield negativeI don't think they'll get any taller except for the bud I could just imagine if you had fimmed them they would have been massive bushes
Doesn't affect yield negatively I've got three Bruce banner autos growing now in week 11 been in flower for seven weeks I've got three bushes with big leaders growing on themThese are autos you can fim or top but it does slow the growth and affect yield negative

We will have to agree to disagree on this one any topping is def stressful and slows the plant - fimming some can tolerate? Maybe thing is there’s no way to know right ? You say you got bushes but you have know idea how big they would be if ya let em grow or did lstDoesn't affect yield negatively I've got three Bruce banner autos growing now in week 11 been in flower for seven weeks I've got three bushes with big leaders growing on them
