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

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?

77 days old autoflower, up to this point is personal taste or still there ways to go?
I majorly see milky and a few ambers trichomes, correct?
Those white pistils are due to the foxtailing, so is not a good metric.

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?
