This is the post-vacation update, plants started to lean so I staked them up.
Trichs are still with very few amber, except on the sugar leaves. I'm getting antsy about harvesting, and took a bud from the bottom of the clone when I got back to get a closer look, but it's still not ready. I feel like it had more amber hairs earlier in the week, now it looks like there's some new pistils coming through still.
For practical purposes I want to harvest in a week if possible, hopefully I start to see more amber.
I've been doing water only for the past 2 weeks
You can see some of the next round of plants on the bottom right, one is actually showing pistils today after 12 days under 11/13. Once the clone is done I'll move in another and begin feeding them properly.
First grow, flower week 3. I counted 18 colas today, for a 1.7gal pot and only 75watts of LED, would it be bad to remove 3-4 of the weakest looking ones? Or to remove some of the budding sites lower on the branches that don't get much light? Worried about popcorn buds Thanks!
No, it means you won't be able to change the diary your using for the contest or the picture being used, you will be able to update your journal as usual. Hopefully, that answered your question and feel free to ask for advice anytime, and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"
Take these small flowers from the lowest least light penetrated parts of the plant, leaving all that have direct light. You also need to remove those fan leaves from down low as well as any others blocking light to a flower. Yes doing a little a day of pruning is always wise and on days the plant has been watered/fed. Look up "monster cropping" and try a lighter version for your first try, removing basically everything that the lights don't reach.
I'm trying to be patient on week 9-10 of flower and take advice I hear about not harvesting too early.
If anyone has advice/opinions on harvest/trichs at this point I'd appreciate it, it's my first grow.
