Bud swelling technique. Great lighting, great environment, not to much food, growing experience. The 4 do's for nice big bud. Nothing else works.

Mouldy, webbed buds
The humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray? Dry out…basically anything?!?

The bud site towards the lower middle of the plant. Should I get rid of them if they aren't keeping up with the taller buds or should I leave them to see if they catch up? I have upto 8-10 nodes per stem due to LST training

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)

Outdoor plant still not flowering
Hey! It’s the 15th August and 2 of my outdoor beauties are not flowering (or at least not visibly). The 3rd plant is already in the 3rd week. Any ideas why this is happening? Any suggestions?

Auto flower peak
Auto flower ripen peak question. I just saw a video where a couple who exclusively grew auto flowers regularly said mid 80s is the max number of days autos peak and they won't ripen more than that. Any truth to that? I ask bc I struggled to see amber trichs 90+ days on my Auto.

Time to harvest? And call for general feedback!
Hi all you pros! I haven’t used any questions, so I figured I’d ask for some general feedback of what I can do better next time with the same setup, and also whether y’all think this is done? I’m worried I’m jumping the gun a little, since I only see a few amber? Thanks!

Is this mold?
Hey all, Trying to grow outside this year without much intervention (not much time). They are doing okay so far (or were) until I notice one of them with some purple dark leads and weird collie on the buds. The region I live is pretty humid so I thought it could be it? Help pl?

Will taking about 1/8 off top of flowers promote fattening ?
Hey all. I am curious to know if back building buds is actually effective. I seen a YouTube video where they actually "toped" the buds. The person took about 1/8 off the top of all his flowers. They were about 5 weeks into flower. He stated that it helps fatten up the buds ????

Wait for whole trich to amber, or just the tips?
Finally starting to see some amber on the buds. Got a better microscope coming tomorrow as getting pictures on the phone is a nightmare. Should I be waiting for entire trichomes to turn, or will it only ever be the tip?

Pruning weak branches in week 3 flower?
First grow, flower week 3. I counted 18 colas today, for a 1.7gal pot and only 75watts of LED, would it be bad to remove 3-4 of the weakest looking ones? Or to remove some of the budding sites lower on the branches that don't get much light? Worried about popcorn buds Thanks!
