HI @theNoyd! Not so close to me, I see this plant suffered from nutrients toxicity, so I think she will need at least 2 more weeks, maybe 3. Since you're going to have only 1 cola, I would wait for this cola to be perfectly ripe. The best way to tell when your plant is ready for harvest is to grab a jewelry magnifier / hand-held microscope, and take a daily look at the trichomes. The trichomes onto the buds should have changed from thin & clear / transparent to fat & milky / cloudy / opaque. Once you'll get only milky trichomes, the harvest window is open! For an energetic high, harvest before the first amber trichomes appear. For a couch-locking high, you'd rather harvest once 20-30% of the trichomes have turned amber/red, you'll get more CBN/CBD but less THC. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and enjoy your harvest 👊

Hello @theNoyd ! It looks like it needs 1 more week maybe 2. The bast way to make an accurate harvest is to check the trichomes with a microscope like this ( https://www.amazon.com/Light-Microscope-Loupe-Currency-Detecting/dp/B006W2IEB2 ) For a mind effect harvest when trichomes are 80 % milky 20 % amber and for a body effect harvest when trichomes are 80 % amber 20 % milky. Happy growing !👊

Hello ! Well the royal dwarf is a quick strain so she will be ready soon but to be sure I recommend you to get a magnifier and check at the trichomes ratio , to be sure to not harvest too soon I recommend you a 100% milky ratio at least but if you searching for a couch lock effect then go with a 20%/30% amber trichomes. I hope it will help you 😁👍

Defoliation Hello growers. Is there a max limit on how much I should defoliate? I feel like I could improve the light to the lower levels more but I’m worried it could harm the plants and affect the growth?

Leaf colour and buds Are the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go? Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds? Thanks 🌈

Defoliate or LST?Defoliate or LST? Both Grapefruit and Bruce Banner are ready for some love but due to the short bushy nature of this grow, if we LST and start bending the plants their leaves will end up touching the soil. Would it be better to remove a couple of fan leaves to let light in?

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

When to start defoliate?When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)
