Duggsterstarted grow question 4 years ago
I see that some of the bud sites that are lower down, aren't flowering as quickly as the ones near the top of the plant. Should I be defoliating some of these bud sites as they won't be as big, or should I leave them? I've seen some people say this and I'm a bit confused.

The theory is: if you remove the lower buds, you'll get larger, more potent bud from other sites. Most evidence of this is anecdotal, but the majority of home growers swear by it so it's still compelling.
The drawback to this is that the lower bud is great for making hash or edibles. Oddly enough, your weakest buds make your most potent product. You'll have to decide what you want. I just lollipopped for the first time to put it to the test.

This is a personal preference and something you wont know untill you try both and see what you like better.
You wont harm her to much by removing leafs to let more light to these areas but you also wont be doing any harm removing the lower budsites so that more energy is spent on your tops.
It is really up to you but no wrong answer rly.

Some people leave it, some remove the lower buds. I myself remove it, leaving the plant to concentrate on the top buds. It is actually a matter of prefference.

Ripen? Or straight to flush?Nute swap is in two days - the mystery seed is ready to flush I think. But I'm not sure about this OG Kush. Normally I would Ripen next - but should I go ahead and flush along with the mystery seed instead? Thoughts?
Thanks

Is this bud rot?I found strange purple/dark brow discoloration on one of buds and surrounding leaves. It could be caused by bad supercropp of the cola, or I am thinking bud rot. What do you think, should I harvest immediately, or am I stressing too much? RH is 50-60%, but the box is cramped.

White pistils close to harvestHello growers! Thanks for your help. So I'm approaching harvest (yellowing leaves, mostly milky trichomes, fat buds) but many pistils are still white. Flowering is supposedly 7-9weeks, I just entered week 9. Waiting for more amber trichomes, should I wait to have orange pistils?Week 16

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

Almost a musty smell.This past week we got a lot of rain, RH shot up to 80% now the main cola smells almost like must or wet towels. No sign of bud rot or mold. Dehumidifier is in the room now, just curious if the smell is normal for this stage of flower or if Im screwed. Hopefully its fixable.Week 8

Fruit Punch Autoflower on Day 43??This Fruit Punch auto on day 43 and not flowering like all the rest. I don't have another space to switch to 12/12. Have you seen autos go this late? I don't want to scrap this beautiful plant if she still may flower at 18/6 but don't want to take up room if it needs flipped.
