Definite pistols emerging for preflower on Day 22, sunny most of the day Rest of the week has been cloudy with maybe full hot sun only a couple of hours a day, into full preflower now no more signs of male flowers, 3 pistols per calyx and the side shoots are not symmetrical at the nodes like the main stem anymore

Still in preflower at start of week 5, weather seems to be cloudy in morning and warms up and brighter from 2pm to 6pm when I lose direct sunlight for the evening. Started to train the lower branches wider to see what they hey will produce. Poor weather this week, the plant is stretching and seems to be a big leaf to flower ratio at moment huge thick branches and stem think it might be a monster

GreenhouseGrowerstarted grow question 7 years ago
Should I remove the side shoots from the first node? Although strong I cannot see them do much, I am not trimming any of the fan leaves as I prefer to let it grow naturally as possible but just wondering about these lowest branches draining more energy from the plant then giving

Any low branches that are spending most their life shaded and dont look big enough to hold a piece of popcorn, would be better to remove. All those little branches use energy that could be distributed to the larger plant so I'd say yes its most helpful to clean up the bottoms.

Last week was warm and sunny Had to remove some low fan leaves due to them starting to shrivel, also removed the 2 lowest branches as they were in full shade at bottom of greenhouse. Buds starting to form nicely and a hot sunny weather week predicted, by Day 49 the buds were definitely getting bigger but still a way to go

Start of week 9 about 50% of pistols have turned orange on all buds except low down. The edges of the larger leaves are turning yellow, not sure if lacking in nitrogen since starting the flush, burn from last feed, or just the plant using its reserves as coming close to the end. Have decided to harvest on day 70 the trichomes are cloudy and over 3/4 of pistols orange
