I would in fact lst might be a little difficult as your stalk has gotten pretty sturdy so it may not want to bend easily. But I would atleast top or preferably fim the top to get those branches growing out

Dear Members i have a Royal AK before harvest, i'm at the 8th week of the flowering period. I made a picture from the trichomes (last picure), could somebody tell me, should I wait one more week or can I chop it off right now? The picture is taken from a side bud.

In a weeks time(when my stretch is over)I will defoliate a few fan leaves covering colas. So... how much should I cut, fan leaves higher or lower on the stem and what effect will this have on growth and yield? does time of day or time in the watering cycle of the cutting matter?

Any guesses on how long to harvest. I'm starting to see some gold trichomes glistening in the sunlight, but definitely less than 1%. A good chunch of the calyxes from the side branches are swelling and pistils changing orange, main cola still mostly white pistils.

Supposed to be an autoflower strain. This is week 8 and I don't know if I see any signs of flowering or not. I just switched to flower nutes anyway for one watering to see if I can jump start it. I have a photo seedling in the room so don't want to switch to 12/12 yet.

flowering fem lollipopping?
First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.

What is your favorite way to finish a plant at this stage? Dark period? Starving? Get wild with some stem splitting? No need for flush cuz super soil š

Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest branches from the plant. Doesn't look like they'll make a 50 cm stretch up but I'm not sure. Tips?

She just started flowering, do you think I should cut the leaves at the base of the stem? she is an autoflowering plant so maybe it would cause her too much stress? Thank you very much
