Just don't over do it. I see alot that defoliates in week 1 and 3 of flower. I pick a handful whenever I think they need it (if it's blocking a flower site from light, yellow, etc,,)
Low stress train them (tie each branch down to make an even full canopy) or scrog (screen of green) try to get you a top through every square of the net. Less plants will take more veg time to fill the tent. I like to use the nets but after they grow up through it that's where they gonna stay...
Use which ever one you like best. I'd personally go with the biggest yield to the high thc. I have a few photoperiod girls I need to try it on. No seeds available for what I have and not enough space to keep a bunch going. Hope it all works out well for you ✌️
Just about all seedbanks carry autos. Ilgm , seedsman, bakedbeanscannaseeds, DC seed exchange, the vault, true north, to just name a few. (hope it's ok to name them in here)
Best way to tell I looking at your trichromes through a jewlers loupe , phone microscope, etc, I usually harvest at 10 to 20% Amber colored. More of a head, get things done feel than with More Amber colored, the more narcotic "couch lock" feel. They look close though. Good job on the girls✌️
Those few with the weird leafs looks like light/heat burn, may want to raise their lights a few inches. Look into a larger light for flowering. When you switch lights to 12/12 they will flower, all depends on how big you want them, remember most stretch at onset of flower so they gonna be maybe...
The green sunshine company that sells the electric sky led lights has a new organic dry amendments called Earth dust, I'd like to try those,. I've used Dr Earth .
