Hello ! The tail is not important when it comes to trichomes because the cannabidiols are in the bubble. So a white bubble with tail and without will give you the same effect. Now in soil the flush takes 7 to 15 days with clear water in soil to wash most of the nutrients away. I think you still have at least 3 weeks to wait before harvest to get fatter buds. I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼

Hi @Chewbacca! The flush duration is determined by the trichome's evolution, in soil it can last for 7 to 14 days. Take a daily closeup look at the trichomes under different lights --> our grow lights can mislead us. If you're looking for the THC peak (mostly milky) then you need to start to flush once the first ~10% milky trichomes appear (but this is also strain related). Trichomes have different shapes, actually 6 types of trichomes can be seen on a bud and some don't have tails. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hi i wont start flushing before week 10 , And as you only grow 10 weeks it will be enough to do 2-3 good flushes at all, that would be done in one week ( i dont think that you have a big nurtient buildup in the soil. and you took a small number of nutrients at all. So let them grow until week 10 if tichomes are mily/amber start to flush

Defoliating Autos Hi I am wondering what you experienced auto growers would do. I am starting to have stretch and a few preflowers showing. Would you defoliate, if so to what extent. Bottom 10”, upper fans, etc. On photos I would, but idk with autos and dont want to stunt them too much. Thanks

I am noticing that many parts of the plant do not receive enough light. Would you recommend cutting any more knots? (I do not know if it is advisable to prune any branch more once the plant is in flowering) or simply remove a couple of leaves.

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flower I am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

Defoliation and lollipop Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?
