lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage

bodhistarted grow question 5y ago

These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

If it got pollinated by it's self.. the buds will stop growing. If the trichomes are showing the color's you want i'd just lop that hermie and call it done.. Hope this helps friend.. Happy growing! 👊

Cool, thanks both. I think I'll leave it and wait for the trichomes to get where I want them to be. It may have self pollinated, but I want to let it mature anyway.

I have 2 seedlings in FFOF that are 2 weeks old and struggling! I might have overwatered and caused nute lock? They are green, just not growing. Their sister in expert gardener is on the same water schedule and is double the size. Do I just let them get bone dry and then flush?

Another auto question. Once you commit to a light schedule will an auto be "shocked" should you go from maybe 24/0 to 20/4 or 18/6? Or vice versa.
