Defoil more or not? Remove small buds?
Arasari
started grow question 6y ago
As i have never mainlined a plant before im asking if i should do some more defoliation or remove some small buds at the bottom. Will this help to gain some more yield from the main buds?

At this point i'd just leave them. Make some bubble has with them or even butter.. I wouldn't cut anything off. 👊

White hairs turning Orange? Is this normal
So one of my plants has some of the white hairs on it turning Orange, is this normal? It doesn't seem like it's stressed or anything, the leaves are fine and the others are fine, but this one cola has some the leaves turning colors.

What do you think?
Already dried and cured. So what do you think about the end result? Specially because I let it grow in flowering stage about 1-2 weeks longer than it should and I still think it could have been a bit longer.

Pistills darken
Something strange happening here. Pistills starts darken on the 7th week. She's a really short and I fed her the in the same way of my other baby (she's much taller and her pistills are still white). No smell from her. Why is this happening? What should I do? Is she premature?

Are these trichomes ready to harvest?
Am I ready to harvest? I am new at this so I bought a wifi scope to look at the trichomes, but to be hones it is still confusing but my plant is looking pretty sad so I wanted to see if she’s ready to harvest. Are these milky enough? Should I harvest just parts of the plant?

Early harvest to avoid damage ?
How can I tell when to harvest when the plant is dying fast but the buds are not fully developed. White pistils, clear trichomes. The plant distress is close to reaching the buds, with some sugar leaves browning.

Two buds instead of one on one spot? Why is this happening, or is it normal?
Why is this happening? This is my first grow and one of the growing Buds looks different like all others. It looks like there are coming two buds out of it, instead of just one like on the others. Or is this normal? Sorry for being such a noob. One picture for reference.

Should I do anything with all the bud sites that are underneath my canapoy?
There are a lot of bug sites underneath my canopy that will probably never see light. Should I just let them be or should I look to trim them down? I will be going into week five of flower here in a few days.

Early flowering hairs turning brown
Hey guys, today I noticed a couple flower hairs turned brown. Does anyone with more experience have some guidelines regarding what could be causing this? If so, how could I fix it? First picture is up close, second is for context. The other bud sites all seem healthy (white).
