    So now that my girls are finally starting to flower, do I need to defoliate?

    I haven't been back to this thread in several weeks. Thank you all for your replies. I did do some thinning of lower leaves, but I didn't defoliate. These plants are getting over 8 hours a day of direct sunshine ( I love my wife... ) I'm thinking I've got several weeks of flowering time...

    Little help regarding harvest time...

    The girls have been flowering for two or three weeks. You can see in the picture that the hairs are starting to 'brown' at the tips. When do I need to cut this baby down? thanks.

    Great article KJ, thanks. I think I'll some careful defoliation a try.

    So now that my girls are finally starting to flower, do I need to defoliate?

    These are autoflowers, growing in 5-gal buckets outside in natural light. Leaf density is not so great that light isn't penetrating, in fact most colas have extended beyond the major leaf sets. I just want (like all of us...0 the biggest, densest buds I can get... :-)

    So now that my girls are finally starting to flower, do I need to defoliate?

    I've heard both sides of this argument, 1, strip the leaves so more resin/THC/energy goes to bud development, and 2., don't defoliate as the leaves produce the energy that goes to bed development. If I do defoliate, when and how much? thanks much...

    so what are the first signs of flowering I should be looking for...?

    I planted some Cali Haze autoflower in a 5-gallon bucket around April 1. It is grown outside with only natural lighting. She poked up about a week later, and is growing really well. Attitude says it is a 8-14 week auto-flower, but I still don't see any signs of flowering. Great leaf...

    a little definition on auto-flower please...

    I'm not really that high... :lol: I didn't mean veg again, I meant you veg for about 6-8 weeks of the total time. Although I can see how I wrote it confusing. Bottom line though, you plant them and forget them for about the 14-16 weeks. and regarding the 12/12, that's just what I've read...

    a little definition on auto-flower please...

    So if I buy auto-flower seeds, say 14 - 16 week, does that mean that roughly within that time range from when it sprouts, it will be ready for harvest? And, if I'm understanding correctly you veg for again, roughly 6 - 8 weeks - by which time it should have shown sex. And at this point if...

    Okay, how does this one look...?

    I've got back up to the back up; a photo flower sour Blueberry out in the back. And I'm starting another Russian Rocket fuel. I've got until September for it to grow... Highly unlikely I can decontaminate the grow area sufficiently. It's in the loft over the shed. dark, dirty and messy...

    Okay, how does this one look...?

    You all know me as the guy who posted the picture yesterday with the plant w/ balls as big as well, baseballs. Well He is dead now. Sadly, my indoor grow area is probably contaminated. Here's another one I have, outdoors, autoflower feminized seed, and definitely showing female threads...

    Since I inadvertently started this thread twice, I'll post my reply again on this one... here's a couple pics of my Cali Haze, also a feminized seed. i'm thinking I was wrong about the time length; 7 weeks is probably more accurate. (It seems like 7 months...) this definitely shows female...

    Here's a couple of my outdoor cali haze, also a feminized seed. this one definitely is showing female threads (I tried to get to get a close up but is was too sunny and I couldn't see the camera screen to get a good picture) I'm also thinking that it wasn't 10 weeks these have been in the...

    Your welcome to a laugh newbie213, but don't be a dick. We're all doing this for the same reasons, and there's no reasons to be mean. If ya got nothing helpful to say then just read quietly and laugh to yourself.

    This was my first indoor grow. I'm an old-timer... back 'in the day' we planted in some farmers back fields and we just used to grow for leaf believe it or not. These Seeds were purchased and came from a seed bank. They were feminized. I'm guessing that temp may have been the problem...

    Not sure... this is the only one growing under lights. it's an auto-flower, supposedly feminized (yeah, right!) and It's been under the lights 24/7 for about 10 weeks. it began flowering about 2 weeks ago maybe... My other auto-flowers (outside under real light) don't even appear close to...
