How have you noticed the difference in the ripening of buds with autoflowering breeds? These big fat single cola mini plants have lots of trichs but they seem to be “un-mushrooming” rather than going amber.

Hi @49thparalellfarmgirl! There's none, autoflowering strains produce as much resin/trichomes as their photosynthesis cousins. Try to look at the trichomes under different lights, at different parts of the plant. Enjoy your harvest 👊

First hydro. Is there anything I'm forgetting about ppm, maintaining pH from the resevoir, keeping rot from growing (non-issue with hydroguard right?) , etc? I plan on something for light, and change the jar and nutes if needed. Will let the roots breathe at the top.Canna->Lucas.

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600. General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!

Defoliation during early flowering I wonder whether trimming the lower (big) leaves would be beneficial? Because they’re all shaded now but maybe they participate in the transpiration process at night?

Just wondering if anyone has any tips based on what they’re seeing. Should I defoliate? I’m guessing another week or two before it’s at the height I’m aiming for, then I’ll switch to 12/12. I wish the fingers were spaced out more, I feel I didn’t bend them down enough earlier on.

I would like to Over-Veg one of my girls into a MONSTER. I require advice on how best to grow her big with thick stalks. Should I use a deep pot or a wide pot (child's pool) and is there any recommendations as to which nutrients will help her grow into a massive bitch?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Starting what should be the last 4 weeks of hydro. The plant looks extremely healthy to me. I'm working the humidity down as it is a little high. Any words of wisdom for the home stretch?

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?

Tried my own thing on pruning. It's exploding. 4 main colas. 2 on the next node. Going to 4000w full spectrum led for flowering in another week. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. It's my first grow.

Is it actually showing signs of preflowering? I'm started to think I bought a feminazed Mazar and I don't remember lol. Maybe I'm just too eager for her to flower, next Monday will be week 8 and it's only showing this

I have a question regarding my feeding methods, the plants are currently in flower period and I'm using Canna Terra Flores to feed them. The plants recieve about 2-3 ml of this product a day. But is this enough? Should I give more? Will the buds increase in size if I do? Thanks!
