Trim. Always trim. Sugar leaves are harsh. I pick all the shades off before I cut it down. Dry upward, not down and in couple days all leafs will curl down at a easier cutting angle. Then cure.

Siamese Twin Plant ?
I believe what I’m looking at is two plant stems growing side by side each other. It looks like two stem cores wrapped in the same epidermis. For any plant geeks out there I think it looks like two Xylem potentially sharing a singular cambium and phloem.

Harvest/Partial Harvest tomorrow, or leave it unattended for 7 days over Christmas?
So let me preface this by saying that I'd LOVE to come home to some dried weed, ready for curing, but I don't want a subpar bud. My original plan was to chop tomorrow before I leave town, but many trichs still look clear (I think), w/ a few amber. Advice? More pix/info in diary!

What stage is my plant?
Would my plant be considered a seedling? I’d like to put some bone meal in but everything I read is that don’t add it until the veg stage which I think I am in. Thoughts? I also bought some fox farm tiger bloom but it has not arrived yet.

Hallo Mir ist ein Missgeschick passiert und die Lampe ist abgestürzt. Es ist nur einer Dame was passiert. Kann ich die (2 Wochen vor der Ernte) so stehen lassen oder sollte ich den 2. Cola kappen um dem 1. die Energie zu geben? Der 2 ist gebrochen hängt aber noch dran.

Mango Auto stunted?
My plant seems very small for this stage (~18cm). I managed to get more growth from LST even after cracking the main stem a bit at the junction. Is she severely stunted from this? How do I get her to grow more?
