The Quints

Hey Growmie, lower your light a bit,’or turn your dimmer up to a higher -% the stretch without new nodes appearing is due to a lack of PPFD. I would also get some wind resistance added to that tent to get those little girls moving around, this will strengthen the stalk of the seedling and encourage better growth. Good luck! ❤️🇨🇦👊

Just remember........ Maximum amount of leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum growth! Defoliation is not an essential step in cannabis cultivation. There is no need to do it "just because " or "everyone else does it". I personally do not believe in it and only ever remove yellow/dying leaves. Besides, if your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place!

She's looking a lot like my Bruce Banner did in Week 7 - and I, too, was very worried she wasn't going to flower... I was used to "normal" shows of pre-flower and much earlier but she was different. I think yours are different, too. I worry that if you take the advice of those telling you to "flip" her to 12/12 that you'll never see a good harvest with these ladies ... autos (and I DO think they're autos) will grow under 12/12 but not very well. I'm seeing attributes of her that are exactly what I saw in my grow... Give her another week and I think she'll just pop into flower which sounds weird but that's what my grow did.. and very late! Take a look at my diary and the pictures - you'll see they look very similar and my concerns were exactly what you are concerned about... growdiaries.com/diaries/152783-grow-journal-by-growinggrannie/week/854635 Good luck... autoflowers have their own schedule and although there are "normal" times for doing things, there are SOME ladies that throw those norms out the window... I think you're fine!
