    Question Autoflower Day 45 - Need help for some decisions

    Hi all,

    My auto (Critical strain) is now on day 45 (second week of flowering).
    Generally, the plant looks really healthy with a beautiful dark green color.

    But, some of the bottom fan leaves are turning pale green and yellow, a little bit droopy as well.
    I can´t tell if this is a normal process or a nitrogen deficiency. Can you help me figure it out?

    One more doubt. Will it be a good idea to lollypop the plant? I have many little secondary branches in the half-bottom part of the plant that i dont relaly think will develop too much
    I read that i should not lollypop auto flowers, so im asking for advice. Here are the pics:

    Light penetration is usually missing at the bottom of an auto when it is fully flowering, I usually clear away all the bottom leaves that make watering hard & any branches that may produce 'popcorn' buds

    Ty for the response M_C.
    This is my first grow, so i dont have the experience yet to decide what branches produce popcorn buds or not, is there a general guideline?
    Do i remove the leaves (trying to keep to a minimum, maybe the ones that are more "lifeless") and the popcorn branches all at once or should i do it in small batches? to not stunt them or anything

    Your popcorn branches are the ones that stay at the bottom, reaching less than half way up the plant... leaves? Get rid of anything limp, yellowing or in the way

    Yeah agree with M_C clear away some of the bottom leaves and try to open it up abit so light will get though some of leaves will die off anyway with lack of light and towards the end of the grow also some can die get a scrog net it might help aswell since u can open the plants up better with a scrog

    A Scrog net is pointless with an auto, use LST instead
