LSD-25, Big Bang, Exodus Cheese

I think both.. Next time you should start your autos directly in their final pots, transplant isn't good for them and you risk to lost important days of veg :)

They are giving a recommended dosage that is working in most of the cases but sometimes it can be too much for a plant and some other times they are reacting well to an higher dosage like yours , this is why it is good to try new dosages like you did but if you can see a nutrient excess then cut the dosage

Hi @JNTgrows It is not a male calyx. it is female, at the end of flowering the plants tend to stretch the buds to make a final effort to collect pollen and reproduce, from these calyx females coming out of the buds the famous "fox tails" born, there is no reason to worry . good luck mate

Hi there.. remember that the type of high depends not only on the strain, but also on the state of the trichomes.. the main question you should ask yourself is "what kind of high" do you like? Should it be more of an "active" head high for during the day, or more of a "body high" which pushes you into the couch and makes you sleep well? Once you know that, you should look at the strain you're growing.. If the plant you grow is a pure indica, the standard high will lock you more into the couch by default, while a pure sativa would give you more of a head-high (the basic sativa-indica difference) when harvested at the same time, but then of course there are still a lot of hybrids in between. This is just a general rule, but it also depends on time of harvest. When it comes to trichomes you know they go from clear to milky and then to amber.. In general if the plant one is an indica-heavy plant (so more of a couch-lock), if you want a head-high, you'd be best off harvesting when a bit over half are still clear, and half are milky.. If you want a body high, then most should be milky and some amber. If 20 or 30% or more of them are amber, it'll just be definitely in the body-high area, pushing you into the couch (and as always, don't wait too long or they'll fall off the plant). In comparison if this were a sativa, then even even when the trichomes are full milky it should still give you more of a head-high, and to get more of a body-high effect you'd need to wait until there are a lot of amber trichomes. The hybrids are obviously somewhere in between.. the exodus cheese auto seems to be a fairly well balanced hybrid. So it's basically up to you, what you prefer and the type of strain you grow, but definitely keep the trichomes in check. And yes.. you can harvest the top buds earlier than the bottom ones. happy harvest!
