What is causing the buds to corkscrew?
Valmont505
started grow question 5y 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.

Buds too mature in the middle of flowering time (trichomes milky/amber)
My Laughing Buddha is into flowering for 55 days now.The breeder says that flowering time takes 65-70 days.The trichomes on the main cola look like 60ish % milky - 40% amber. I know about head and body high trichome color ratios and wanted to ask why it looks so mature that early

One main cola or multi nodes?
On a 12/12 from seed would you remove all side shoots to allow for one fat chunky main cola or just let her do her thing? First time using this method. Advice would be appreciated.. thank you 👌🌱

Complicate
trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)
I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Are these trichomes ready to harvest?
Am I ready to harvest? I am new at this so I bought a wifi scope to look at the trichomes, but to be hones it is still confusing but my plant is looking pretty sad so I wanted to see if she’s ready to harvest. Are these milky enough? Should I harvest just parts of the plant?

Trichomes evaluation
Hello, in the last page of my diary (20), I uploaded some photos of Trichomes that I took with microscope. I believe that they are not ready for my usage (insomnia is my condition) and that I should wait until they are some milky and some amber. Can someone confirm my intuition?
