Can Auto-flower strains be pinched-off to promote ...
Athosanswered grow question 8y ago
Yes they can. Just be sure they are growing nice and healthy and don't pinch later than the 5th node, else they will start flowering
Jeff123fishanswered grow question 8y ago
Yes you can but for me it’s less about which node your at and more about timing as you know it’s going to flower at somewhere between 4 and 7 weeks so make sure your pinching is done before that. So get them as big as you can early and then and pinch early and often

Harvest preferences - substrate/trim wet or dryJust some brain picking!
How do y'all like to harvest? How many of you leave your plant to dry in the substrate (if soil or Coco)? How many of you harvest it from wet substrate for longer drying time? I know it'll depend on environment differences, but v curious! Same q for trimOther. Harvest - Drying

Is my plant stretched? Is it because I was away for two weeks and wasn't able to keep her in direct sunlight more? She was getting 5.5 hours direct sunlight for those two weeks but when I'm home I can get 9.5 hours direct sun.
Is there anything I can do? Are my nutrients right?Week 5

Harvest timeHello, my girl here is entering in 11th week and I think it’s time to chop? Pistils are 60-40 orange white and most trichromes are milky. I haven’t flushed yet. How long do you think I can let her grow, without any amber trichromes? Thank you a lot.Week 11

When to start final trimI am on my 15th day of drying and the branches seem to be making dry cracking noises when I bend them. So I started doing the final trim (sugar leaves) and have noticed that the buds are still slightly soft. Is this okay or should I wait for the buds to be bone dry and hard?Week 13

Homemade drying boxI have to keep my dry separate (and concealed) from my growing room. I read an article about making a drying box with a tote and a fan rigged up now I can't find it. How do y'all do it?
