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

Organically denser buds
Good day buddies! I was just wondering if any of you have an idea how to organically get denser buds? I'm planning to let the other ladies in my tent flower but last time there were a lot of small popcorn buds and fluffy bigger buds (due to pruning experience I think)

Is it nearly ready?
How many more weeks would you say this has? I'll probably harvest in sections because the bottom third looks about two weeks behind!

Buds not ripening
This is my first grow, all went well, the colas are huge, fat, many trichomes, etc. But the pistils are mostly white, no amber trichomes, so she seems to be not ready at day 80. Most diaries of the same strain were ready by this time. Should I just wait or something is wrong?

Opinions about partial harvest? It seems like I can harvest main cola and 4 buds. Would the rest fatten up later?

Will buds get bigger and merge into others- to make larger colas?
Will these buds stack up? Start to merge into bigger colas? It's an Autoflower- Lemon Haze. I am thinking about adding a PK booster in a week or so. I bought Beastie Blommz.

Blue Dream flower size...
I am about 21 weeks into my first grow. Blue Dream. Pre flowers started around week 13. Flowering has really taken off but it seems like there are several smaller flowers in a cluster rather than a few big ones. Is this normal for Blue Dream? -up the open sesame? diff nutes?

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????
Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.
