What is the best indication for me that she is ready to harvest given that i do not have a good magnifying glass to observe the trichromes? So far i was thinking that if 70-80% of pistils turn orange on a bud its a sign that its time to harvest the cola.

Hello ! Yes you'r method is the right old school one to harvest without loupe or magnifier , 70% / 80% amber pistils is the good ratio to target. Well the answer was in you question 😁👍

What are the beige/brown spots a sign of? Why are the two Cookies plants always droopy yet the Blue Dream never droopy and they have all been watered the same. Roughly 1g each every 5 or so days when pots are dry and light. My light is up to 30" so that's not it.

Hi all. 6th week (last of preflowering), This plant is somehow late in development but it is quite steady. Should I defoliate her a little bit? The four lower stems could develop popcorn buds, do I remove them and the bigger lower leaves also? Cheers.

Yo! Need advice on what could cause a major PH differential between the nutrient solution and the runoff. I'm making my usual 70 litre bucket up and not adding any PH down. Feeding 1.6ec and 6.4 ph the runoff is measuring in at 1.8ec (good). 5.2ph (bad). Why?? Each fed over 20L.

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600. General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?

Wondering when to add nutrients in coco? I heard after 3rd set of leaves. Some people say after 1st set. I use reverse osmosis with a mineralization filter although I have no idea what minerals are in there. My EC meter did not work when I received it.

Hi guys and girls! Tell me how you plant. I doubt that the leaves are wrong. #1 can see light spots. In daylight there is no such thing, Only under the LED it can be seen. NAMASTE 🙏

Help me Understand Defoliation and Pruning around 17-21 dayscof Still learning lots. I’m at day 18 of Flower and would like some feedback on what’s considered 1/3 of the plant for lollipopping effectively. Do I take the bud sites and fan leaves from everything under 1/3 of the plants total height or do I take bottom third existing foliage?
