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.

I cut my OS, but...
In your opinion, after 10 weeks (checking the trichomes, which were all milky and very few amber), will the plant have developed enough? Will the effect I'll get be noticeable or will it do nothing? I'd like to briefly understand the various differences in harvesting and the effe

How to Trigger
30 years ago I grew a lot under HPS and have just recently gotten back into it. One thing we always did was to turn off the lights for a 24 hour period to supposedly trigger the plants faster. I learned this from the person who taught me how to grow. Has anyone heard of this?

Humidifier during flowering
Was told to remove humidifier by one grower. My tent usually is about 20% humidity without it. I have it automatically set to 45% bc I read Relative humidity was suppose to be in the 40% during flowering. Do I need to remove or keep using.

When to harvest?
Hi friends, Would you please help me in judging her status and estimating when to harvest? I've read a lot about growing and when to harvest, but in real life I'm not sure at all. I'm anxious about not being able to tell and harvest too early or too late. Thank you!

Brown, stunted buds in week 4 of flower phase. How can I correct the problem?
Hi. My first grow. Two Blue Dream in week 4 of flower, under 8x 48” T5HO lights, in 5 gallon Hempy buckets. Half the pistols on both plants are brown, stunted and look roached. Is this nutrient burn, pests or mold, etc.? The rest look normal, white and full. See pics. Thanks 🖖

Trimming during flower
Flipping from veg to flower, how much should I trim the fan leaves around the bud sites, how much should I trim as the buds grow? Do these fan leaves become bud and stems? When should I stop trimming completely? Thank you.

Harvest early or not pros and cons
I’m on day 54 of 60-65 days of flower. My trichomes are looking cloudy and good amount of amber. Should I harvest earlier than the recommended flower time since my trichomes are ready? How much more growing will the plant do in the last 6-10 days?
