Do pre-flowers mean slower growth
MaryJones
started grow question 6y ago
My plant has started showing it's first few pistils (white hairs) in veg. Does this correlate with a decreased growth rate?

Hi there! No, I don't think that the pistil showing should slow down the growth at all and actually at the first stages of flowering the stretch will begin and she starts to grow even faster!

During the initial swap from veg to flower it will slow. But as shag said only briefly and then goes into the stretch stage.

Rivoluzione!
Comunque la faccio breve! Questa cosa vale soltanto per chi coltiva in idroponica. Ottenere il risparmio, efficenza ecc. utilizzando come vasca di coltivazione un secchio per mocio. Max 15 euro su Amazon (15L). Le prossime volte utilizzerò quelli e non Oxypot ecc. Come lo sapete!

Stem Necrosis
So about 2 weeks ago (should have posted about it sooner I know) I noticed some stem rot on my plant. I didn’t know it could be the first sign of something much worse. Can anybody help me identify what the problem might be? Or any steps I can take to save my plant?

Virgin CBG "Pop" My Peppercorn
Ever grown out a CBG plant before? When should I harvest, mostly cloudy, some / no amber? CBG is said to be the mother cannabinoid, if it degrades, "amber trichomes" will it still be CBG? or will it turn into THC/CBD/CBN/CBC or any of the other many cannabinoids? Cheers, m0use

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

Nodes and Leaves that don't receive light, cut off ?
So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?
