Rekon this will be my biggest yielding auto to date, bushy to the max. From taking the top leaves off the main stem allows the secondarys to catch up! def prefer this method to topping, especially with autoflowers.

I too am growing a GSC, when did you begin plucking leaves;-) I am around day 28 she's so damn short and bushy View media item 6254

Have you tried tucking your leaves?

As of about 20 minutes ago I went against betterg judgement and removed 3 water leaves, yes have been tucking best I can before now. But also I point out normally I grow under T5 12 bulb light, recently switched to LED-http://www.ebay.com/itm/WELLPAR-2pcs-300W-LED-Grow-Light-Indoor-Spectrum-Hydro-Veg-Flowering-Panel-Plant-/171719294712?hash=item27fb447ef8:g:KyQAAOSwT5tWLebw View media item 6319
I wonder if my lights are not as good as my T5 or if maybe my distance is issue it's at about 12-14 inches which may seem low, but according to manufacturer I get 570 par at 12 inches and none at the standard 16-24

I'm one of those tpes who never sleeps and hangs out with his plants 24/7 that being said if I were to notice something happening bad with LEDs what would be my first warning signs going to drop lights now just want to know what to keep an eye out for?

I think if you lift them the leaves will shows signs of reaching for the lights.. Maybe point up a bit either way lifting them will help them stretch

I only take the very top first leaves, when they start to cover the secondarys below, this allows the secondarys to catch making a better canopy, not all strains like it though. Heres the latest pic, see how the side branches have reached level with the main top.

sorry the suns bright as today! I still use cfls for veg, found that I was struggling to get any height with the LEDS, I only use a 65watt 6500k Greenlamp CFL, great bulb for such little wattage, its brighter than a 125w ive got, def seems to have worked on this GSC.

Also putting it in the conservatory for a few hours, bit of natural sun cant be bad I don t think.
