Yes or no, trimming whilst in flower

[scott04_40]

Since you are only removing a few they will be fine,your setup/nutes look good,Keep in mind autoflowers have come a long way and are being put to the test at every turn..It used to be that topping or fimming was a big no-no,but many of our members have been using this technique for some time,your plant WILL give you a nice harvest,Do us a favor tho,after harvest let us know if the leaf removal shocked your plant..Cheers !!

Yes mate course i will.. just got in from work.. going take few off only 5 or 6 or so... apparently igs a 10 11 weeks strain so hopefully end this month it will be done... im goin to upload few pics aswell from iphone what iv just taken to giv u a insigt into wat iv got goin on.. its nothing special but it works for me mate.. finished 2 dp autoblueberry in december.. 3 oz of 2 plants so see what can produce of the few iv got. Minus mistakes ie leavim 2 in 1litre bottles.. derrrrrrr! Lol

Lemon o matic above

Amnesia auto above

Auto super dwarf above
I snapped the main stem accidental as u might see in first pic of the 3. I've also topped or fim,d a few of the arms as well and in my opinion it could of recovered any better

Unsure what strain this above pic is

auto caramel. Topped and also topped the arms to. Only 2nd grow so experimenting at the minute see how far they can be push and see that full potential.

Thanks for takin interest. Have you got anything goin on your end I can check out

Yes of course ,the links in my signature are active and I just updated them tonight...right now I only have the 7 plants but another 6 will be started in about 10 days,I have everything I need!!! Thank You for having interest!!! Dang I didn't know you had that many plants !! They all look awesome,and since you have already topped and fimmed you know that a few leaves being removed wouldn't hurt,when I was growing photo plants,I also used supercropping, mainlining and extreme defoliation,all work when dialed in but I am just now trying the fim technique with autos .i am only on my second and third grows with the autos ,but am loving the speed at which they finish..anyway..talk soon !!

 

[scott04_40]

That the reason why I grow autos. 9-12 weeks finish. Carnt argue with that lol. I don't know how to use tapatslk app how would I find your signature? True. If they already pulled back from topping. Like you say Few leafs won't hurt. I just did a bit of tuckin last night was to tired to go full works lol but tonight think I might go but deeper on trimming.

Hi guys! Scott I would agree with, if you don't have to take it don't, and if you do have to take it, start small. I have a micro cab that can get out of hand pretty easy with a bush, and I'll remove some leaves (5-10 pending on size, and blockage)just before flower. I have done it on 4 plants so far, all being different genetics.

since you have already topped and fimmed you know that a few leaves being removed wouldn't hurt

If your already choppin' heads off, and the plants not taking a crap on you, I doubt a few leaves would hurt.

I have also supercropped 1 auto so far, and she is doing great. I wouldn't recommend it, just like the people that told me not to do it. HEHEHEHE. I experiment with a lot too though, and considered myself warned. 8 hours later she was pointing straight up, just a few inches shorter. Besides having a very even canopy, and looking pretty nice, I can't even tell she was broke. We will never know what these plants are capable of if we don't try. You may loose a plant or 2, or get crappy results, but hell that can happy when you follow the book too, lol. Till later, take care.:smoking:

Thank You @Fuggzy for having an open mind and the sack to try and push the plants beyond what many people will !!! The great thing about autos IS their ability to rebound so quickly..as a community if we won't push the plant to its limits,we all suffer...peace... @scott04_40 not sure about the active links in the signature,are you on a cell or computer?

This is the supercropped girl right after bending her. It is Dec 31.

This is her last night.

The flower just left of the stove clock is the top, and the 2 below are the main stem too. Hell she is still growing fast enough I still have to adjust the lst every other day. Take care.:smoking:

 

[scott04_40]

Yesss I've done something to at least each plant and like you say fuggzy the respond and repair likes nothing happened. I'll try get better pic of the super dwarf wish I snapped the main stem nearly completely but she turned into a right shrub lol.. Budelee im on iPhone on tapatalk app. It's so hard to use lol I'm used to a 2g fone lol. Btw your girls looking sweeeeet [emoji52][emoji106]

 

[scott04_40]

Super dwarf pics...

It's grown back at practically a right angle. Within a week of it happening it repaired itself

I trimmed lemon o matic Trimmed fan blades and couple lead whole. 54 days atm just over 2 weeks to go so these last 2 weeks are cruciAl

.

Thinking about it now maybe I took a little to many off put tbh I'm not fussed and wanna see how much they handle. Not said it onli plant lol.

 

[budelee]

Those my friend are some awesome "knuckles" where they repaired themselves ,and Thank you for the compliment on my plants, I've been taking it easy on this batch of plants so far but I am trying to push them a little harder( at least two of them) than just an LST treatment...anyone tried manifolding/mainlining yet??
