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

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?Leaves. Color - Yellow

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?9 months ago

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?8 months ago
