New Grower Hi Guys... the whole shebang!!!

NIce freakin thick ass buds brother!!! :yay: :greenthumb: :cool1: ......I'd be happy for my first grow with auto's to come out like that!!
...do you think I can start defoliating now or should I give it maybe another 2 weeks.. that really should be my call :face: but I'm so unsure bout auto's!! ....good lookin out man.. Thanks...:thanks: ......Cheers..:chimp: .....and yeah do get me all the helpyou can please!!

I'd say you are well on your way to having some great looking bud man! Okay this is what I would do with your Greenhouse widow. The first pic the fan right at the top right I would cut the fingers of the leaf mostly off to expose the branch below. For selective defoliation I have a couple of self imposed rules I follow.
1 Only take a leaf if I cant tuck enough to expose the branch underneath(including using wire hooks to anchor/manipulate the leaf).
2 Only take a leaf that is blocking worthy lower budsites.
3 Cut just the fingers mostly off, instead of the whole leaf.
4 For full leaf removal, be sure to cut cleanly and as close to the stalk as you can. Withered leaf stalks can lead to mold.
 
I'm definately gonna do that.. I'm just gonna upload my Auto-Colorado Cookies grow too.. and then run out and go buy some wire :thanks: ........really good lookin out brother.. Cheers.. :chimp:

Love the cookies...sweet strain. Colorado Cookies from my last batch

..........she looks like she might have a bit of nute burn.. what do you guys think and suggest - flush?? - or maybe now she's big enough to take up the same nute strength which is roughly 440. But still I'm happy cos at thought she would not make it at first.. but she pulled thru :frog:................ Cheers guys - please please comment and advice..thanks :chimp:
 
900w led - double 5 watt led.. meaning only 90 lights.. and yes brotha - 1 IR 1 UV 55 red 18 blue 4 orange10 white led lights
...since the canopy is so thick.. do you think I should cut off some of the fan leaves.. I know I should not do that but... man I'm like racking my brain.. do you think raising the light might help?? help!!!! @912GreenSkell :smokeout:

:face:
I've not used the double 5W diodes but I'm guessing they are the "Double 5W Epistar diodes"

I'm also guessing they use 90 degree lenses?
Each maufacturer uses different diodes (Lumileds Epistar,Cree,Osram,Bridgelux are some of the reputable brands) generic Chinese LEDs will not perform as efficiently but will still do the job.
How hard they are driven also can affect how high you should hand them, as a rule of thumb they are often driven at two thirds their maximum drive current but that is not a given.
The best thing to do is contact the supplier and ask what is the optimum hanging distance.
I looked up some Chinese LEDs on Ebay to see what the suggested hanging distance is.
The lights I looked at were the Bossled 1000w which uses the Epistar double 5 w diodes and the suggested hanging distance is -

Actually I have been exceeding my best indoor yields by using small pots and on purpose stunting methods to keep them stout and tight nodes stacked with bud, but of course it lowers yield per seed cost ratio versus maximizing plant size.
Sweet you've been stunting, did you by any chance pick that up from me?
Not many people have tried this but I was giving Habitual a few pointers on it.
Here's my grow journal https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...-eshine-ds-300-1-x-vipar-b2x3-stunting.36318/

2 x Auto Bomb & 2 x Northern Lights. Auto Bombs were 12" & 15". The Northern Lights were 18" & 19". The Northern Lights went on for an extra two weeks and yielded 4.5 oz dry each

AS99 in the PC case to give you an idea of the size of the grow space.

AS99 near to completion I ball parked her at around 1.5OZ but didn't weight her.
I also got some free seeds for being the runner up in a plant of the month comp with her!
