Hello, new to the site, decided to jump on here because I've been using the forum as a knowledge base for my first solo/aeroponic/auto-flowering grow. The name's Joe aka Necrowpharoh. I'm a car guy, sound engineer and aspiring grower.

Will start a thread soon detailing the grow- will have pics too.

One thing I have a question on and it's something I've done on photo-period plants with great results in the past is will an auto-flowering plant be able to handle mild defoliation and bending?
Also my seeds are White Widow Auto Fem XTRM from AMS- Anybody have any experience with their seeds or better yet, with that particular strain selection? I can find all kinds of info on the photo-period equivalent but I cannot find anything on their auto version. I would like to know expected grow time, yield and potency (average).
 
Hello Joe,

I am just about to grow some Auto WW XXL from Dinafem. The whole leaf trimming subject is one that will never end, there are those that swear by it and those that are so against it. The debate has raged and done to death here. I would not encourage any more debate. It is just too contentious.

I am sorry to bring this up on your very welcome intro, but this debate has been done to death. And we are still no further down the road.

On a lighter note, I am happy to welcome you to the AFN fold. Stick with us, we will be here for you and share all we can. There are a few sound engineers here (Hi Waxi) and car nutz too. You will fit right in here.

enjoy, eP.
 
Welcome man. You will get lots of diff answers on the pruneing. Personally, for me, it depends on the plant. I've done it with all my photos and some of my autos. Just remember you are on a set time with autos so you don't get to veg longer for it to heal. Lots lst autos too. For me, again personal preference, I don't lst autos unless I'm getting tight on space or she needs it to open up some of the bigger lower branches. Whole reason I lst is to open up more of the plant to more light and I always combine aggressive pruning of the tops and leaves and it extends my veg time by a couple weeks atleast I let them grow wild till they get about a 16-20 inches then pinch them at the height I want till stem snaps and prop her up to heal and tie her down or scrog her. This method would kill the yeild of an auto imo, but have never actually tried it.

Yea, wut he said :D
 
Epenguin- Okay, I think I may take the risk with defoliation for one of the three plants- but due to the short veg. time, I'll do it gently lol. I'll definitely report back with pics down the road comparing how the two do. If it works, awesome. If not, oh well, sad face. I was planning on using SCroG-- but at this point I'm concerned about whether or not they will have the time to heal from the heavy bending. When you startin' your WW XXLs? We'll have to compare grows (people have been trying to scare me with the legitimacy of AMS but we'll see lol).

Nater- I have some photo-period Super Skunk that I will grow down the road that I'll be more aggressive with on the pruning and bending. Had a buddy a while back win me over with his defoliation and SCroG method similar to yours.

And thank you all for the warm welcome. :thank:
