So im in the last week or so ( so i hope) but id like a few opinions. I have used a loupe magnifyer and one of the girls looks 80% cloudy 10%clear and 10% amber. The other larger girl is approx 85% cloudy 5% amber 10% clear. Going by the flowering time stated on the packaging they have 8 days until harvest. The issue (i say issue buts its not a bad thing!) I have is the weight of the buds is causing the branches to bend and give way. This isnt just one branch its almost all on the small plant and serveral on large. Any advice is appreciated.

The first pic is the small girl ,
Second is large.

About 2 weeks. Next time use a cage around pot to support the buds and train the plant.

Looks,like a couple,of more weeks on the big one.
The fan leafs act like hands when you are trying to walk a tight rope. That's why they are falling over.
They don't just kidding.

They do play an important role as nutrient banks, heat syncs, etc.

They will take longer to finish without them do you remove them ?

A hook in the ceiling and yarn is what I use, like you said it is a nice problem to have :)

The only leaves ive removed are ones that have come away when ive touched them. Tbh both starting dropping leaves about 2 weeks ago when the buds starting going crazy. Im not sure if its the strain (shark shock) or maybe something ive done (this is second grow) and thats why they lost leaves.

No leaf drop and minimal fading is what I am working also. And I am also in my second grow using a new method.

The plant cannabalizing it self is a natural as it gets and that is one happy Homegirl.
You can assist it by it keeping its leafs or continue what is working very well for you.

Didn't see buds post because I was writing mine , he's got it going on. The cages are the way to go.

The NFT methods interests me very much. Hope you can make a journal on your next run.

I have my next ones all lined up waiting to go in and was going to to a journel. For advice more then anything really. I have cherry bomb , narcotic kush auto, and masszar auto. Thought id give the autos a shot see how they turn out. And because they dont depend on light schedules to bloom i can put them in with cherry bomb.

I'm running into the same problem. I got wooden plow marking post and screwed them into the shelving my girls are supported on and put screws every 6" cats cradling across from post to post with twine supporting the stalks. I went 12/12 from clone and my girls stalks are as thin as some of the largest fan leaves. But there Buds are nice. *Cheers* and good luck

Ah yes you said that, i was a bit confused.
Was curious why you chose auto flowering seeds, i have been thinking of the ability to supplement with sunlight that has me interested.
Dont like the idea of ruderalis genetics but i think sunshine might offset those.

That shark shock is a keeper thats for sure. I would revegg that if you dont have any cuttings from her.
