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

Hey friends! My middle plant is tacoing and shooting out a lot of white pistils (only plant doing so and is directly under sf4000) . Is this a light issue, phenotype or mainly a ph and nutrient ovefeeding issue as other taller plants aren’t displaying these signs. TIA!

Is it normal for the pistols to be so brown at this stage? Should the buds be fatter? Is it because of high temperature?

Floración lenta
Alguien sabe por qué la floración va tan lenta y las flores son tan pequeñas? Puede ser sobrealimentación o falta de luz? El pH de drenaje me sale a 5.4 , creo que es bajo y la EC de drenaje está en 4000.

Any input? Small nuggzzzz
Moby dick Auto has been slow but steady on the bud growth, way slower than other genetics and this is the only plant from this strain so no comparison. I find the buds quite small, Super frosty, dense and beautiful smell but harvest is getting closer and nuggz aren't fattening up

Growth rate expectation
Hi, I was wondering how much growth to expect from my buds. She has been prefloweringfor 10 days and the last 2 she s been in full flower. Her top buds have a diameter of 1.5 cm at this point. That means in 15 days it ll be 3 cm diameter. Will the growth exellerate?

When do I see trichomes?
Am I supposed to be seeing trichomes at this stage? Worried that me overloading with nitrogen in earlier weeks has prevented this? Giving just bio bloom at half dose recommended by bio Biz schedule and top max once a week and watering every other day in between

FOXTAILING OR FATTENING?
first signs of foxtailing late into flower or just signs of the buds naturally fattening up towards the end? Diary attached, in last 10 days I’ve had some fresh white Pistils shoot out, and what looks like stacking. I know it could be genetics, do I have anything to worry about?

Harvest or leave in the sun for a while?
My plant got way too little light inside when i tried a 12/12 light rhythm. now it looks like the trichromes are getting milky already even though the buds are tiny. Should I harvest to avoid losing thc or leave them outside in the sun for a while still so they might grow ?

Fast yellowing in older and middle leaves, small buds.
Hi guys, I need your help on this one, this is a completely organic grow under a FC-6500 light which is 60cm at 100% power, it can't be light stress because the tops are fine.This yellowing happened fast in the span of 4 days.PH shouldn't be an issue since I calibrate regurarly.

Foxtail conundrum…
What would cause the Cali Dream to foxtail with no other noticeable signs of stress? PH is 5.9-6.0 my tds is a little high for dwc maybe but no more than 1-2mm of tip burn sparsely throughout, oddly only in one tote. RuntzXmintz seems to be free of the issue.
