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

Leaf fade vs. deficiency
Hey everyone, does this look like a deficiency? I’m in week 6 of flower, I had half a week of high temperatures and I’m sure she was affected just a bit and noticed Bud growth slowed slightly. Not sure that influenced this and if it’s a deficiency(magnesium?) or normal leaf fade.

Buds too leafy
After heat stress, all large fan leaves have died. The bud growth probably got stunted. Lots of trichs but is more leaf than bud. How bad is this? Is it going to suck to smoke?

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Slow finish Critical Purple
Please see my post. Big John cola today, Big John Cola 3 weeks ago. This plant doesn't seem to want to finish. Is this strain normally slow to finish? Trichomes are cloudy, none are amber yet. I'm waiting for a few amber trichs, then I will harvest. If they ever do.

Now at day 70, which should be typical for her to be ready for harvesting. The trichomes are about 20% milky. Don't want to wait to long and lose too much cbd. Should I taking the tops now and leave the popcorn buds another week, or feed/flush and wait a week?

Buds too small (?)
I just started week 9 of my first indoor grow and here is Gon which has A LOT of bud site but they are all quite small in my opinion. Is there something that I could do or I just leave it like that? Maybe the light has not enough power? Could I bring him outdoor at this stage?

Hi everyone I had a question about placing a 4 bulb t4 shop light into my 4x4 tent, I already have a 400w hps but my one plant that I scrog'd is just so massive. My main concern is that the different light spectrum might stretch my flower making the buds less dense?? should I be?

I'm in week 6 of flower. I usually grow outdoors, and my plants are generally like 8 feet tall. Are these buds coming in small or is it just an overall size perspective thing?

sparse flowers
Can anyone advise me? Is there a problem with it or is it standard? It seems to me that the flower does not grow much. The other flowers are full. This is the RQS Critical fem variety. Is it possible that it lacks fertilizer? Or is it a bad phenotype?
