Don't be afraid to make her naked. I would take some more. Also looks like you are running DWC. I would keep the PH between 5.5 and 6.2. Make sure the water is not over 73 degrees.

This is the first time I've used this seed company. "Fast" is it I believe. This is auto girl scout cookies. I just ordered 3x Dina fem Og kush, 3x dinafem critical 2.0.
75% of my seeds I've grown have been dinafem and I really like them. Their size and potency are some of the best for autos. I like to do a semi perpetual grow that's why I go auto.

Looking better. I would pull those old discolored fans off too (I see some on the right side in the pic); take anything that has a petal long enough to pinch off with your thumb. It's okay to take young unhealthy fans too. Clear all the suckers at the bottom and inside that are not making it to the top I will take some before and after of my moms so you can see how extreme you can get.

Never messed with an auto, but I strip mine down to the nubs a week before flower and every other week after that. There are differing opinions on taking fan leafs, but I have seen an increase in yields by keeping them naked all throughout. My tops are just as heavy, if not heavier, than when I left the fans alone. I see less bugs, mildew, and bud rot as well.

Looking at the picture I see a lot of dying fans that are not contributing to the plant, just the opposite. I also see a lot of branches beneath the canopy that appear to be shaded, removing those will increase the size and density of the top colas.

The only stunting I have experienced from taking fans is the upward growth, it slows down considerably, which is a good thing as it keeps your canopy level and allows light to penetrate to some of the middle/lower bud sites.

I'm going for a cloning session tonight. I will take some pics of a mom that has been topped and defoliated. I will show you how thick she is now and what she looks like naked. The trick is to NOT remove the nodes which will become buds and join the canopy. Any nodes or branches that will be shaded should be removed; the earlier you do this the better. Start by working on the inside of he plant around the main stalk; that shit will die, become larf, and rob the buds that are getting light of energy.

Before Defoliation:


After Defoliation:


Beneath Canopy:


I left some of the lower nodes because this plant is a mom and I want lots of cuttings. Note that all the leafs I removed were perfectly healthy. We will check back on her in a week and see what happens. Remind me.

I've done a few photos, but would really like to get into cloning. Just don't have the space now. They look super healthy

Here's some before and the last one is after I took my clones off as defoliated what I deemed necessary. There's definitely a deficiency going on with your seedling though.

I'll never grow this strain/company again, they are the most sensitive I've ever raised. And this is the worst grow I've ever had. That being the reason I posted in here. Just never had these issues before. But got some good seeds on the way now. Your girl looks super healthy

One thing I've learned over the years is you have to start with good genetics or your wasting your time and money. Yeah she's a solid OG strain from a family friend. I've got a few hundred of them so I can have this strain as long as I live ha

don't know what's up with this chick still. Not sure if it's deficiency or toxicity. Cause it's not environmental, temps, air and water are good. Ph is good, no slime or any root problems
