Little different situation sir. Your girl was brand new rescue with about 10 total leaves. My girl has 40 or more. But point taken. :):)
I woud only be removing 1-5 leaves total, but Im gonna lay off for a while before I do anything.

Although i find this hillarious, that is not the case. :) I respect sir Reg and would never say something like that. And yes Im taking Reg's advice. ;)
BTW, I should mention, today is last feed of FFGB for NLxBB. She will get a flush next feeding and no mas. :)
 
hi, looking good my friend,

some defol info, its not worth using defol on a true auto plant, if you are growing an auto then let it grow as is, they dont have time to veg, so any stress results in slowed growth and smaller yield, just leave autos as they are,
if its an auto cross and not just an auto you bought then it might not be auto, if you crossed it yourself then it might not be auto, ill read back and check, but if you bought it as an auto then its an auto and wont benefit from any defol, the only time its worth defol an auto is a week or 2 before harvest, cut off any leaves with a 2inch stem and this will help the buds fatten up in the last week or 2.

with the scrog, if this is a none auto scrog then remove any leaves thats blocking the growth at a node, also once the screen is full make sure you cut off any growth below the screen, basically if its not getting light then cut it off, all you want below the canopy is branches and stems with no growth on them what so ever, you want the plant to focus all its energy and nutrients on the buds getting light, this is why a scrog works so well, everything is getting light so all the stuff below the canopy needs cutting off,

so for defol i would not do this to an auto, i would not do anything to an auto, if its a true auto you bought from a breeder or seed bank then dont do anything to it, it will just stunt growth and the plant will start flowering and flower as normal but will be smaller due to the stunted growth, so autos are best grown as is and nothing done at all until late in flower, i find autos also prefer slightly cooler temps and a weaker nute mix,

on regular none auto plants its ok to defol but its best to defol in one go, dont remove leaves every day or every other day, check out bassmans journal, if i was using the defol method from start to harvest then id posibly do it twice in veg, then wait until week 2 or 3 of flower then defol again removing anything with a 2 to 2.5inch stem,

my plants im growing now had huge leaves on them, these top 2 sets of fan leaves had got so big they was blocking the light to all the lower branches, so i had to remove them this time round, i have used both defol method and not defol method, its a tough call to make, but its also strain dependent, some strains respond well but some indicas dont respond to well, it will always slow growth for a few days after defol but once growth starts again growth will be more aggressive and you will notice that the growth at the nodes is a lot more,

if one of my plants starts getting to tall or the node spacing is getting big then i just remove the top set of fan leaves or the top 2 sets of fan leaves on the main stem, this then stops upwads growth on the main stem for a few days and all the side branches then grow as normal and catch up with the top of the plant, its the same as the fim method, all your doing is stopping upwards growth and allowing the branches below to keep growing, this just stunts upward growth for a few days.
 
Its all good, i consider you guys :420: Friends & if you heard how hard my friends & i snap on one another you would've realized there was no reason to apologize. If that was out-of-line you better never come around me & my gang:grinjoint:
 
When i say "gang" i dont mean it like the cali way
 
NOW THATS FUNNY:yahoo:
 
So I just caught up on your grow. Very interesting to scrog an auto. At first looking at pics,cause I'm a guy and always look at pics first, I thought you were using screen to lst. Consider everything I say purely speculation as I know virtually nothing about autos. Having said that, I think scrogging a auto seems like a great idea. I mean the only down side of autos are the low yield? So scrogging seems a good way to boost yield. If you can do it without stressing plant why not? Seems if you can get the lower buds to get fatter it would def help? Anyway as the disclaimer says I know nothing about autos so I'm interested in learning.

Thank you for the advice. One of my two plants I will be starting with will be a White Widow auto. +reps

Heres a boring log of my activity so far PLEASE CRITIC if you would like. Thats how I learn. ;)
6-12 NLxBB auto sprout

6-17 "superdrop"

6-25 tiny drops of FFGB to heal yellowing
6-26 new home more lights
6-29 tiny amout of water
......etc

Did the tiny drops of LGBT help the yellowing?

Apart from the "Superdrop",

my favourite bit was the tiny amount of water.

Very scientific ;)

I had to go back a page to check. LGBT Means something totally different out here in Ca. and I was trying to figure out what kind of drops they were. :cheesygrinsmiley:

thanks for the reps,

any chance you can let me know how long the auto vegged for, im working with crossing autos at the minute to try and have a big yielding auto, so any chance you can let me know how long since it sprouted and what day did it start showing sex or start flowering,

im just trying to find an auto that i can cross with to give me good genetics and good growth, im thinking a slightly longer veg time of 4 weeks, im slowly getting their but need more info on different auto strains so i can decide which to buy to work with,

so im basically trying to find out how long it was in veg for, ive found some autos flower at week 2 and some week 4, ive also found that 20-4 and 24-0 makes them flower sooner and finish quicker but yield is low,
i grew several autos under different schedules, i grew kc45 autos, i got around 1/4oz per auto under 24-0 and 20-4, then i went 12-12 with the kc45 from start to finish and got 2oz, so now i got some growing under 17-7, im trying to find the sweet spot, some say 20-4 is best but i beg to differ, i think the more light they get the sooner they mature, less growing time etc etc,

it seems 12-12 made my autos grow 3 times the size and took longer to start flowering and 3 to 4 weeks longer to reach harvest, but the yield was worth it,
 
Yes sir. 28 days from sprout to first pistol's sir. I have a another going and I will let you know the time frame on her too. She is Blue Mammoth. I started the NLxBBau on 20-4 ish for first week then trimmed it down to about 17-7 as we speak. And Ive given her alot of nutes (probably too much as always ;)).

Ricorico, the FFGB did work. Like over night if you can believe that. I took maybe 2 oz's of water, then poured enough FFGB to cover the cap (the bottom nota full lif!) so maybe 1/4 teaspoon, and poured it right by her stem. Next day she was greener in the morn, and full green by that night.

So last night after I posted my pics I was a little concerned. I took her into different light and she was looking pretty dark. I think the 2T/gal was too much a week ago or whenever. And she was still droopy at lights out. :bitingnails:
I had to work early so the GF took care of lights on. Damn shes good to me... But I just opened it up and... She has exploded. 15 hours and she is at least an inch bigger all over. Its kinda ridiculous :) Blue is lookinggreat today as well. got her first set of trues finally. The thing about her is in all the sprouts Ive ever had, she has by far the biggest first leaves. :hmmmm:

BTW, GOOD WEED EVERYONE!
:circle-of-love:
 
LOL it took me a being stoned to realize the FFGB and other thins
yesterday I was straight when I read it so please forgive me I just forgot to smoke and it will never happen another time:)
