Continue defoliating or leave her be?

[MarioAlberto]

Good afternoon fellas, quick question, should I continue chopping new bud sites around the forming top buds to focus energy only on the the top two? It was defoliated pretty harsh already a couple days ago. It is supposed to be a sweet seeds fast buds 2.0 autoflower but this is already going on 12 wks from germinating.

I would recommend putting down the scissors and letting her grow out a bit. In two weeks try switching your lights to 12/12. At that many weeks I’m doubtful she’s an auto.

Am guessing she is not an auto.... breeder #s say 7 to 8 weeks till done for the strain you mentioned...

I agree with above, put the scissors down for a while... given she's a photo, I'd up-pot to 5gallon or so, give her another couple 3 weeks to get comfortable, and flip the lights.

Ok, will do. Thanks for the help fellas.

Looking at the picture, you seem to have a severe nitrogen and maybe other excess nutrient problems. The leaf ends are curling and the leaves look too dark green. That is probably the reason why the plant has remained small despite "going on 12 wks from germinating." Hopefully, soil users will help you fix things.
