OK I moved my 2 photo's utside reduced the number of plants in the growtent to 3 Auto AK's
I have learned that straigh forward maths does not always work and 3 is the max plants I should have at any time in there

Though the 3 sprouted at the same time there is quite the difference in size -2 -4 or 5 in height
and also in flowering stage though they are all 3 there

I would rally like some opinion on what to do to boost buds... is it just something that will happen do I need to trim Fan leaves?

The medium one:

Holy spaceships Batman! Ditch the purple light for pictures please.

Don’t know much about autos, nor how old these plants are. Giving you a very straight forward answer here, they appear to have recently started flowering. Give them time to build their mass. Take care of them and they will reward you.

@1dude1seed Them purple lights save me all those fancy filters you apparently to have to put on your pictures nowadays ;)
Seriously the forced flash does not overpower the lamps... switching them off and taking a picture does help

Would trimming some of the large fan leaves harm my plant as it would give more light to the lower branches?

I am a bit worried about the tallest of the ladies... getting close to the lamp and the only thing I can do to gain space is getting rod of the pulley system and hang them directly from the top bar

I am in 3 gallon pots which is about 11-12 L
Next plant I am hoping to grow is a fat banana or a blueberry...this time i read up on height a bit better
Am I correct that if I reduce the pots to 2 gallon .. just over 5 L I will keep the plants a bit smaller? Or will I harm the flowering stage too?

Growtent is 150 cm heigh 4.9ft

they're auto correct? using organics and dry amendment helps a lot! but id feed em more if you already are and Potassium and phosphorous will help as well be careful so you don't overfeed or burn your girls out. with autos defoliation is something i shy away from unless its going to block a budsite from developing. You don't have much time with autos so Light stress training does wonders. bend em over and tie em down to the sides, get creative. if you haven't topped its a little late but next time id recommend topping right before flower to help to get more colas

I’d train as much as possible, trying to avoid cutting anything from them. My goal is to always try and level the canopy as much as possible. For even light distribution and to maximize tent size.

I’ve never grown autos, so idk how they react during their life.

Edit: that new picture is way better than the blurple pictures. Posting a picture like that, but of the entire plant would be great. Especially with the lights and whatnot since you’re concerned with headroom. Tends to result in better/more opinions and suggestions from people.

@Tht_Blk_Guy27

So far they have been on
10-12-11 + (4MgO +TE), and they have been getting some nettle water
I got the high P&K on order )
7.5-12-36 (+TE+ CaO)
and a 10-52-10
@1dude1seed I have my carbon filter after the pump both outside the tent and a small fan blowing at the floor causing a nice upstream of humid air from the trays (Humidity is only 35-40% in the tent unless I folliage feed)20210530_193347.jpg20210530_193355.jpg
