Guy in the video says "it's all down to personal pref. and you can't go wrong either way etc..."

Grow store near me only has 62% so that's all I've ever used. You can buy them on amazon though.
I do know they work great.

They say 62 was made just for herb. I use one in a CV vault (overpriced stainless jar to store herb) and it's mint. My herb is not too moist and not too dry.....just perfect. Only problem is if you keep opening the jar it lets in uncontrolled humidity and the packet will have to work more=shorter life.
 
I'll just come and crawl on here.
Bullet tooth is not wrong by the way with the VPD I also recommend your a read down that lane.
You hear mixed comments up and down the feed but I'm going to try show you why you do NOT transplant a auto. EVER not even if being told to do so by some one hew claims to know how to grow a auto.
Place her in the largest pot you can house. Preferably at least 10inch deep !!!!

I'm going to upload a photo of a white widow at day 16 next to a iPhone 6 An auto from Dutch passion. She's in my habitat and is with a further 13 of her friends there is a journal some growers like bullet tooth are already there.
But for day 16 I'm very pleased but not ecstatic I've had larger at this stage. But you'll notice the considerable size difference between other posts at a similar day number as this my lights will be running so I'll apologise in advance
And you could come along to my journal and watch these ladies progress every 3 days

Smoke hard grow harder .

They say do not transplant autos because of the short set lifespan. But I can say wether its a photo or auto their are ways to transplant to make it the least amount of stress possible. If done well enough the plant dont really miss a beat. But timing timing timing as well

When I grow autos I like to use jiffy pots or if you use fabric pots you can transplant them by just sticking the whole container into a larger one and no need to worry about transplant shock because technically its not transplanting

Not debating your other post, just wondering what do you yield per plant on average and how many plants over how many grows support this data?

Typically around the 3.75 -4.25oz but the highest was just shy of 5 cured it was a sweet train wreck from Dutch passion
I'm expecting to yield 4oz per plant this time so I should have my smoke and my edibals and possible hash if I can be taught how to make it ?
 
What is your opinion on "extreme" defoliation of autos?

My girls are on day 34 on the picture,

They are quite bushy, especially the left one. I want to do something on the pictures below, to uncover more buds to direct light. Any tips on how or when, or even if you think it's not optimal please say so, all comments are welcome.

Giorkos1 - holy gosh. Very interesting! BulletTooth has a journal on here where he mistreats autos. I'm pretty sure he covered heavy defol.

i just saw his journals. Thank you but i didn't find what i am looking for :) and I think i agree with him, autos are very resilient and lots of the info out there in the internet are misleading or wrong.

This is very interesting and I've never seen this done. At least never this early. What is the supposed benefit of This? Yes, i understand you will get better penetration and all bud sites will be in direct light, but your leaves are essential to the plant for photosynthesis. I guess my question is, when does light penetration (or other reasons for defoliating) outweigh the plants source of energy?

I don't know, that's why i came here to ask :)

I want to believe, that in case i do this the plants will stop growing in size since most of the leaves will be gone. And hopefully it will keep putting weight just on the buds.

That's exactly my point though, how are the buds going to grow in size if the energy producing parts of the plant (fan leaves) are gone. Think of the leaves as if they were organic solar panels lol

Or maybe the fan leaves aren't the only part of the plant that produces energy, what about all the other leaves? All of them are leaves after all, covered with chlorophyll, and that's what produces the energy if i am not mistaken ;)
