Calyx and trichome development
Obitricestarted grow question 5 years ago
So just a general question I guess. Anybody ever had just the lower calyxes on your flowers swell and form more trichome where as the top half of the bud that receives the most light doesn't? I think it has a lot to due with sub tropical heat and humidity

I think maybe I worded the question wrong but more referring to very top quarter of all buds in general. I never have this issue indoors but outside in lower Alabama I always have pistols exposed to direct sun get burnt tips and less trichome production and calyx swelling. Been trying to keep an eye on leaf surface temp but im a busy man.

The top of the kola will be last to finish, some harvest as the lowers or just wait until the whole plant is showing its ready. Happy growing!

Sometimes bottom buds ripen before the top buds. Just take the bottom buds first. Cheers friend

Photos and autosHi! As I'm growing some photos and autos in the same tent, side by side... will it be ok to induce flowering and it still not affect the autos harvest? Or should I let them veg and do a bit more canopy management to help keep it low, until the autos are ready to harvest?18/6 nowWeek 2

I've not had much time to keep a proper diary on this one but I feel like I have almost cracked this strain. She was slow for a couple weeks after transplant but no real shock.

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering.
probably should not defoliate for another week right?
thanks!2 years ago

Weird double tipped budsIf you look at my strawberry kush mainline diary, week six if not linked, you will see a normal bud and some that seem to have divided in two. There is a lot of buds at the canopy but 6 out of the 8 mainlined tops are like this. I'm baffled. No new untried nutrients. Known strainWeek 12

First harvestWelcome to the members. It will be my first harvest. How much time do you think you have left? I asked this question a week ago, but the flowers swelled up a lot in a week. Can you leave 2 more weeks? In such a case, should I start washing with only clean water with a pH?Buds. Other
