Pruning weak branches in week 3 flower?
BermudaCowerstarted grow question 5y ago
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!

Absolutely take any you think won't mature. Get all that energy to those top colas where it belongs! .👊

Thanks Kannabliss, I went ahead with the light pruning. I took off two tiny shoots with only a few pistils, and probably like 15-20 of the inward facing fan leaves.
I read a lot of warnings about avoiding pruning during flowering so I was a little afraid to stress it/hermie it. Other people seem to advocate for a 3rd week defoliation, so lets see how this goes.

Foxtail Ready For HarvestHello. This plant of mine became foxtail. As the harvest time nears its end, blooms have begun to bloom again on their hills. Now the first flowers at the bottom are ready for harvest. What should I do? Should I harvest immediately or wait for the new flowers to mature?

Preflower at 5weeks?Didn’t think this was anything at first but her showing that’s she female (3 other strains show the same without the long white pistils). I’m wondering is she preflowering? If you check my diary for any other info:fox farm soil, outside, 13hrs sun, etc. hope it’s not an auto.

Buds too mature in the middle of flowering time (trichomes milky/amber)My Laughing Buddha is into flowering for 55 days now.The breeder says that flowering time takes 65-70 days.The trichomes on the main cola look like 60ish % milky - 40% amber. I know about head and body high trichome color ratios and wanted to ask why it looks so mature that early

Cheese autoflower Amber trichromes on leaves but white hairs. Harvest or waitCheese autoflower is starting to show amber trichromes on sugar leaves not buds. Like quite a few. Still has lots of white hairs. Very few other harvest signs. Should I start to flush and harvest. Possibly sequencial harvest ?? Or give it a little longer.

Pistils turning brown?Noticed quite a few pistils have been browning. I’m not sure if this is a sign of anything? I kicked her into 12/12 about 3-4 wks ago, and I thought the budlets were looking good up until now. This is my first grow so I’m still learning, any help would be appreciated!

Could this be mildew?Hi all,
I've been stressing out about high humidity levels in my tent, and a chemical smell when I smell my fingers after running them through the buds.
Could this be mildew? Or just very frosty buds? On the microscope I see thin "hairs", but looks like undeveloped trichomes...

Heatlight stress?Can someone tell, are these brownish tips the sign of the heat stress or something else? And how bad is that for the plant's not so distant future?
She grows indoors. Peak DLI was almost 60 but very briefly about one night. Now it's dimmed to 40dli/~600ppfd/ 20/4 schedule.
