answered grow question 6y ago
Defoliation is a controversial topic at best indoors; outdoors it makes no sense, you will screw the flowering.

Should I harvest the seed or let it stay?
Is this seed ready to be plucked or is it still maturing and building up potential energy? Do seeds continue to grow after calyx split, even though they seem mature? Will it grow in size further and darker or is it dormant already? Should I save the banana for future pollination?

Recycling Soil between grows
Can I get some opinions about recycling soil? I started off with a mix of FoxFarm Ocean Forest & Happy Frog Coco, Perlite, worm castings and a 1/4 cup of diatomaceous earth. Break up the old roots then soak it with Recharge & mycorrhizae and a new brick of coco.

Are these males?
Are these clones turned male? I cannot tell. They are clones from nice well established mom. They are, and have been very weak and not really doing much for weeks as I've paid much more attention to mom. Should I ax these? Don't have seed room.

Organic Ph down
Is it safe to use Apple Cider Vinegar to Ph down? I’m assuming it is but I smell it in the water and it makes me wonder.

Cómo veo que mi planta entre en la flora?
Siempre conté las semanas de floración, aparte de cuando aparecen las plagas, creo que es por eso que nunca obtengo brotes muy densos, porque cosecho antes del momento adecuado. No hago la cosecha aparte de observar la coloración de los morteros. Semillas Regulares Googletraducto

Is this "Tobacco Mosaic" on my Purple Lemonade Auto?
First thought it was some water/light burns or a rust/leaf spot fungus. No other plants have it in the tent so not new light stress etc. Seems like it's a genetic and/or Tobacco Mosaic Disease/Virus? I'll finish the grow regardless but want to confirm it's not something worse

Time to harvest? And call for general feedback!
Hi all you pros! I haven’t used any questions, so I figured I’d ask for some general feedback of what I can do better next time with the same setup, and also whether y’all think this is done? I’m worried I’m jumping the gun a little, since I only see a few amber? Thanks!

Light intensity? Should I dim?
I'm having a light-science question. I have 5 bulbs, 11w each, total 55w. I know this is not much but anyway. Should I dim the lights for seedlings even If I have this low setup? I mean, does light intensity affects seedlings' health? Or 55w can work on a maximum level?

Time to harvest? (2)
Hello, I have this clone but I don't know what is this strain ... I don't have a magnifier to check trichomes so I have to decide to harvest based on pistils. The plant is at day 59 of flower. Do you think it's time to harvest or it's better to give her 1 one more week?
