What is causing the buds to corkscrew?
Valmont505
started grow question 6y ago
1st time grower, curious as to why the bud is forming like this. Is it genetics or me moving the plant to much? The buds on this plant are just not as uniform as the 2nd plant.

It should fill out. Looks like plain old genetics, but they should finish nicely.

Lil Gorilla Cookies Auto
I have this bonsai lady which has been flowering for about 2 months, and i think it is ready. I also checked with a cheap microscope and the majority of the trichomes is milky. Shall I wait a little bit more? It smells amazing, pungent but fruity.

Dried leaves and buds in late flower
I was away for 2 weeks and during that time my friend was watering her. When I came back all of her leaves were dry and she doesnt look good. My biggest concern is if it has something to do with mold. I think I see only a bit of mold on one bud. And can I start drying her?

Harvest time yet?
Hi guys! I'm on week 15 here with this cute little plant 😅 how close do you think I am to harvesting? I noticed some good amber hues coming in on the flower sites, but still a good bit of white towards the bottom. It's a small and stringy plant, but I love it. TIA!! ^^

Carson Microbrite or loupe too see trichomes?
How do i see the trichomes clearly to tell if to harvest or not, with a loupe ad just seems as though all are like little white dots. I have a Carson Microbrite, the clear trichomes appear clearly but its near impossible to use with my shaky hands and without being very close.

Different Phenotypes?
2 plants from the same seed type purchased together. They look really different. I thought the one with the swollen calyxes was hermed, but research said otherwise. But one has trichomes and decent smell while the other has faint smell and no trichomes to speak of. Thoughts?

Herming or seeds?!
Are my girls getting seeds or even worse herming? These little bulbs dont look quite like a boy plant i was trying inside, but, they do look rather spade-like. I did open 1of the bulbs up and it appeared a tiny seed was starting. some bulbs have ' hairs' like the other flowers.
