New buds, keeping or removing?
What about the new little buds in the lower part. I can't imagine they'll grow big. And the plant could put her energy into big buds instead of "wasting" it for the small ones. Or causes the removing too much stress? The Question is: Keep them or remove them? Thanks in Advance.

Flushing before harvest? Really? Any good science evidence to support or just commonly held belief?
Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)

HARVEST OR WAIT?
HARVEST OR WAIT? LAST HARVEST I WAITED FOR AMBER TRICHOMES AND THEY NEVER SEEMED TO SHOW UP. I LEFT IT TOO LONG AND ALL THE TERPENES FADED AWAY. THESE ARE ALL MILKY WHITE, THERE ARE SOME AMBERS BUT LIKE NOT MANY. I SHOULD BE JUST FINE HARVESTING IN NEXT 1-2 WEEKS?

Buds look so different!
I am curious about how different the flower from my good friend is looking. His Northern Lights Buds don't look like mine. Any idea? Maybe not the same strain? I am just curious!

When to harvest CBD-rich flowers
Sorry, I don't think I was clear enough in my last question. Do CBD-rich flowers look different to THC-rich flowers at their ideal harvest time?

Feminized godfather OG. Do I take it down?
How much more time should I give until harvest? I have not seen any amber trichomes. They are milky but leaves turning yellow have not happened yet.

Strip off small growth?
Hi. Now plants are in Flowering phase, I am wondering whether I should strip off some of the small growth occurring on the lowest arms (see red rings on photo), and therefore try to concentrate the growth/energy in the upper branches and therefore the potentially bigger buds?

No Trichome Development
Every single plant I've grown before this were either frosty by now or sticky as hell! Its coming off as a surprise to me that my two plants are not having any trichome development, so far at least. Any ideas?

Harvesting tops?
Unrelated to this grow but a question none the less. Is it a thing to harvest individual branches of a plant? i.e. Can you harvest the tops and let the lower buds mature more? Namaste

Foxtail Ready For Harvest
Hello. This plant of mine became foxtail. As the harvest time nears its end, blooms have begun to bloom again on their hills. Now the first flowers at the bottom are ready for harvest. What should I do? Should I harvest immediately or wait for the new flowers to mature?

Did I give too much fertilizer??
So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).
