Defoil more or not? Remove small buds?
Defoil more or not? Remove small buds?
Arasari
started grow question 5 years 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. 👊

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).

Pollination worries
There is a bee infestation outside and there are supposedly male plants in my area in the yards around. I found 3 bees on my plants in the tent that snuck in the house somehow. Should I worry about pollination/ slow growth this late in bloom as an autoflower? 8th week from seed

Trichomes colors analysis
I'm on day 50 of flowering and started checked the trichomes. I can see that they are not fully white (opaque) yet, but at the same time there are several amber/brown ones. I was planning to harvest about 10 days from now, what do you think?

When to harvest?
Hi friends, Would you please help me in judging her status and estimating when to harvest? I've read a lot about growing and when to harvest, but in real life I'm not sure at all. I'm anxious about not being able to tell and harvest too early or too late. Thank you!

You're my only hope!
Need help! Some of the hairs on my bud are already turning brown/amber around week 4 of flowering... Any idea why this is happening? It's probably only about 5-10% but they're not even mature buds at all yet

Digital Microsope for iPhone?
Hi Guys Can anybody recommend a digital microscope that connects to iPhone? I've seen them on amazon etc but don't trust the Chinese and their "specs" as they tend to over-exaggerate.

Just wondering what I could do to increase my yields at this point. Any ideas besides upping the dosage as I already did that for bud ripening.

Outdoor harvest
If a breeder recommends 59-63 days from seed to harvest, is it better to let it go an extra week or so? It will just give you more of a couchlock feeling?

ready?
many trichomes are still transparent, but many others are already amber (some really brown) can I say it is ready? (it's a Green Gelato Auto in the middle of the 11th week)

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of flowering
Does it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.
