I attempted topping on both my Northern Lights, and My Girl Scout Cookies. The Northern Lights went just fine, but when topping the GSC I nicked one of the Lateral Branches. What should I do to fix it?

Iām notsure youād be able to get anything on there itās a pretty small plant. But if you ever break a larger branch tape works well.

Depending on how much you broke, you could also cut a match and use it as a splinter

Iād put some blue painters tape around the nicked branch. You should be able to take the tape off in about a week.

good evening green and sticky thumb friends this plant is about to take 6 weeks, and it comes from the mountains of the nepal .. it is a seed regularized by a friend .. as I made a topping .. I noticed that near the cut is regrowing the apical, should I cut again? according to your knowledge and from the photos I took you can you already understand sex?

Upon the start of week six, I have noticed some bud sites... Is it ok to trim off the huge fan leaves to allow more light to get through?

The only question I have is : would you top them once early + LST or let them grow naturally +LST. i will have 4 plants in a 4x4x6 I want to maximize yield. they seem very healthy and growing fast.

Defoliating FastBuds Autos
Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. Iāve had differing results and donāt want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. Iāve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing š±

Currently I'm running the full spectrum of GHE nutrients, but beginning to run low. My question is this: What nutrient brand do you use, and why? I run in Coco, so it'd need to be versatile.

Iām doing an early harvest of 2 plants. I wanted to dry the buds in the tent, with the remaining 5 plants, as I donāt have any other air conditioned location in the house. There is a dark space above the lights. 25c & 45% RH atm. Is it a viable idea? Or should I just never do it?

What do you guys think about watering 'em with sugarwater last weeks? It says it could enhance the trichome production and making it more frostier. Pure myth? Someone in this forum tried this out? Happy growing boys and girls, Cheers

Does anyone know what that thing is that is growing out of the node in the last picture? The picture doesn't really do it much justice, but I'm thinking it's either the start of a seed, or it's beginning to bud. I should mention that there are 0 white hairs anywhere on the plant.

Questionā¦During drying and curing. With winter Iām using gas for heat, which drops my humidity. Does any one dry less than 7 days before jarring it up? or dry it in paper bags before curing? should I just get a humidifier for when I dry, if so will I have mold ?
