welcome to AFN your plant looks good mate still has some time to go i think by the pic thee only issue with cutting the leaves is it will slow things down a few yellow one around the bottom is fine but nice healthy one will stress the plant somewhat and add to your harvest date in my experiance try keep trimming to before the flowering stretch to limits the chances of stunting and with your bulb autos will flower and grow under any spectrum of light iv been useing a red 600w hps for the last 6 months and it works fine best of luck with your grow heres some rep for getting a journal going
Hi mate the stretching stage when i was using the 200wt dual spec was horrendous, and i trimmed it a few times, and it got taller even outgrowing the tent where i had to take the top cola off, but under this 300wt red cfl it has stretched but nothing like previously but is producing far more growth in the buds, it is like it has been left alone and is flourishing under the red light, i won't be changing to any other now i am very happy with what i am going to get, i have never let one go this far, what do i look for when it is time to harvest, i have read and read and cant decide, i watch my leaves but they are always green.
