some like a natural bush, others prefer a landing strip, some want it shaved clean so they can Hoover. Oh shit! Wrong thread - my bad.
I’m kidding but yeah she could use a trim don’t go wild tho. I’d be looking at lower 1/3 for lollipop to send that growth to the buds at top of canopy. Your plants looks stout, nice work there!
or another way to grow that is staggered harvest, just trim leaves for now & no lollipop. Then when she ripens take top buds and half of mid level buds but let the rest grow out for 2 weeks or longer then harvest the rest when it’s done. It’s a fun experiment because what some people call the larf- the middle or lower bud... well that can be potent too.

They been begging for 12 weeks as we're ment to be autos and couldn't change lighting intill my other autos we're done I've trimeed the bottoms away already trying to push all effort to the tops IL take more pics later when I go check them
Taking off fan leaves will delay the process of maturing. With AUTOs that's not a good thing.
How you think you can manipulate a plant to do your bidding I'm not clear on.
Removing fan leaves just removes a source of energy and nutrients for the plant. Thats it. Best to leave it be.

Outdoors, yea I kinda agree.
But - indoors?
I take off all leaves and buds below the canopy. All. The top 2/3's I remove all of the big sugar leaves and any other leaves that shade the lower third ... I look for dark spots.
Ah crap did not know they were autos. Agree not a good idea to defol an auto. Defol on autos is like only 1 leaf at a time to keep them in veg longer
If they were vegging for 12 weeks then they are not autos....right?

- Some guy told him it's a good idea.
- Never attended a gardening course.
- Was bored, and the old lady said she'd have his nuts off if he went back to the strip club, so needed something to do in the cannabis garden.
- Never did the same thing to a tomato plant, a cucumber plant, a pepper plant, or any other kind of flowering plant... and then observed how many fruit it produced / how large the fruit got / how many flowers it produced, in comparison to another plant of the same type that he didn't assault.
- Big harvests mean you have to spend more time trimming, and who wants to do that?
- Tore a bunch of leaves off, observed that the plant quickly used resources to replace them, but then thought, "One plus one equals... equals... uh... Hey, I better tear those off, too!"
- Read about it on the Internet.
<SHRUGS> One reason is probably as... good as another one

I don't do 'auto'.
I like to grow either sativa or Indica.
REAL cannabis.

This ^^^ lol thanks for posting.
AUTO = Rudirallis = Russian weed. So if you grow AUTO's in the USA is that considered treason or something....?
I don't see how; even being Putin's bitch isn't considered to be a crime these days. And We, the People... are far to apathetic for a revolution, especially since it'd require some significant sacrifices. Or at least... you know... doing with the Internet for a few weeks

"Auto"(flower) does not automatically equal "ruderalis." There have been autoflowering indica and sativa strains for a while now. Well, hybrids, really - but 95% of the "indica" and "sativa" strains are hybrids these days, so... <SHRUGS>.
