Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10
Spliffliciousstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi guys,
Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest.
This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc.
Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her?

Yes, it is safe.
I would plan my clipping on the same day you feed.
FYI, I don't mind some popcorn buds, if they get some light and strain is good.

At this point, I wouldnt bother unless you are having high RH troubles. She will focus more on other buds with the popcorn buds removed, but her recovery time would be 3-5 days. Too late in the game, it would hurt her more. Use the popcorn buds for concentrates, ironically the strongest product you'll get from your plant! Cheers friend!

No it will not hurt it. Remove them if you want, or when you harvest, let the lower buds for a week or two more.

Won't hurt her. Get rid of the fluff garbage. Spend her energy on building buds your going to keep. Some mention stress but stress is good for them in this stage, builds higher THC/trichomes and won't normally effect them hermi from my experience.

Hey, she is looking great. To your question. I do it all the time, just don’t do too much trimming in one day. It will stress her out. So do a few clean up and do some more a few days later. Always good to get those little buds out so more water/nutes can go to the bigger buds at the top. Hope this helps and happy growing

The main stem of one of the Gorilla's had to be bent down. I have noticed that the buds seem abit small for the age and that her main stem is really bendy. Is it abit early to tell if they will get bigger with time or is it because of the stress?Week 1

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?Week 1

Soil mixture for transplantingTransplanting; I would like to know how you would mix these products (how much of each) in a 5gal fabric pot using cup scale measurement for the purpose of transplanting? Should any of them be used for just top / just botton? how much water afterwards? Can I use my FF nutes with?

Not exactly sure..I’ve noticed some of my fan leaves starting to “claw” or curl on the tips. And a few yellow leaves on the lower portion of the plant on some new growth. Any idea of what might be causing this? From what I read I think too much nitrogen? How can I fix this?

GRAFT TECHNIQUE QUEST!So I discovered that grafting cannabis plants is possible and also very effective..
The only main reason I would try that is to grow some photoperiodic strain on an auto-base.
But what would happen? Does anybody tried it?
Please link some examples..

Erratic light cycles for the first weekAny experience with keeping a seedling in 12/12 to begin with, then switching over to 18/6 after the first week? Because I did that this time for tech reasons, and I do wonder if I produced a hermie. My own notion is that it will just set me a week back perhaps. Anyone know tho?
