When to harvest CBD-rich flowers
Imzzz
started grow question 5y ago
Sorry, I don't think I was clear enough in my last question. Do CBD-rich flowers look different to THC-rich flowers at their ideal harvest time?

No they don't. For a perfect effect you should harvest them when all trichomes are amber.

How close to harvest can i go im like 3 weeks out maybe
I tried some soil conditioner FISH SH!T the ladies seemed to like it i wanted to do another treatment but im worried about it being too close to harvest. The website info and reviews say you czn flush with it as its just microbial boost. https://fishheadfarms.com/

Opinion about week of flowering, time left
This is one of my buds, watching my diary what’s your opinion about timing? I’m not expecting an answer that is certainly right, but I would like some opinion on your feeling.. thanks

Slow bud development?
I’m now on day 58 and she seems to have frozen on bud development. I’m unsure if this is down to needing a water with plain water As I’ve got some yellow tips or if my light just isn’t good enough for her to develop properly. Thanks and happy growing!

Can anyone tell me a range of what week maturity these are?
Can anyone tell me a range of what week maturity these are? My guess is 4-6th week of flower but hell if I know. They are all super skunk from ILGM and started flowering around aug 1st. This is my first grow I did Kyle kushmans pruning technique on a few of them. Planted june 10

Brown, stunted buds in week 4 of flower phase. How can I correct the problem?
Hi. My first grow. Two Blue Dream in week 4 of flower, under 8x 48” T5HO lights, in 5 gallon Hempy buckets. Half the pistols on both plants are brown, stunted and look roached. Is this nutrient burn, pests or mold, etc.? The rest look normal, white and full. See pics. Thanks 🖖

Whats going on? Is this normal?
Why do new white pistols appear on the flowers in flowering week 7? Buds look largely finished with predominantly cloudy trichomes. I have flushed and looked forward to harvest in 1 week oder 2. RQS Triple G Automatic from my Diary.

Seeds everywhere, unsure if this is a result of impregnation from a hermie I had weeks ago that I may have touched and spread pollen unknowingly or stress?
I have 2 GDPs from ILGM that now have seeds. One much more than the other but certainly seeds. My question is can these buds still be used for rosin/edibles? or even smoked? And can these seeds potentially be feminized as they may have been stress induced? Or assume bad and toss?

Ready or Not?
Hi growmies What y'all thinking is she ready for harvest? I'm wondering because she is far behind the breeder schedule. Day 123 already, pistils mostly amber. Trichomes all milky, not even a single one amber Thanks in advance! ✌️

The first grow isn't turning out well. Anyhow the buds are too heavy for the branches and one has already collapsed. Should I keep feeding the plant for the remaining buds and cut the bent branch.... or just flush->harvest, harvest all together? 10% of the tri's are amber.

Bad foxtailing, or a few new calyxes at the last 2 weeks?
The last 1 to 2 weeks of this plant and this thing is throwing a ton of new pistils and a few new calyxes. The heat in the tent has gone up over the last few days to high 80's during the day. Is this a chop now worthy problem, hoping for more cloudy and 30% amber.
