I have a lot of bottom buds forming can I trim some leaves while I’m in week 4 flower or will it affect the plant.

Trimming the leaves that block light to the lower bud sites is fine. In fact, most recommend it. I say go for it! 👍

Has she completed flowering or is there longer to go? It's a bit small but maybe she got stressed a bit?Has she completed flowering or is there longer to go? It's a bit small but maybe she got stressed a bit? I remember reading that Sativa can last longer in flowering? Could I do a top half harvest as it's quite full of popcorn buds. The pistils are browing now.Week 15

Revegged plant bloomingThis Mochi plant recovered from revegging and went straight to bloom. Plant size is relatively small but I have fed it well, the flowers seem to be growing slowly (5th week). Some trichomes on the apical flowers seem to be turning amber. Should I wait for few more weeks?Buds. Not fattening

When to harvest?I’m not sure when to harvest? The buds don’t seems to be getting any bigger. It’s my first grow. I’m starting to get yellowing leaves at the bottom of my plants, the buds are getting frost, but under a microscope the trichomes are all clear there’s no trace of orange.Buds. Not fattening

10 days till harvest, branches leaning / growing sidewaysI have about 7-10 days before harvest and my branches are going sideways!
Should I provide supports for the branches? Any advise would be appreciated as I know the final days are when the buds fatten up the most and I wanna maximize yield

Not so fat banana?These are pics of an RQS fat banana automatic 6.5 weeks in. I feel it’s a bit scrawny at 50cms. Also, her leaves are really yellowing up. So are the 4 other fat bananas. Is she unhealthy? Today I just fed filtered water even though I have been using half dosage of organic nutesBuds. Not fattening

Has anyone ever tried cutting off certain buds from an autoflower and letting the rest mature up a bit more? Just wondering because the top is a month ahead of the bottom of the plant (which is usually the case). If you have done this what was the outcome?Week 16

Will they fatten up?Hi guys, I'm growing this Amnesia Skunk autoflower on my windowsill. It's been 8 weeks and 3 days since it popped up from the soil I planted it in. It has quite a bit of flowers but all quite small. They kinda look like popcorn nugs. Will they still fatten up?Buds. Not fattening

I can't tell if I am doing right by this strain. Does anybody have experience with Tutankhamon? Does it look like my girl is on track? My last grow had really skinny kolas and didn't yield as much as I had hoped. Thoughts? Should I change anything?Week 12
