Peyote critical ready after 7 weeks of flowering?
Hi! I‘m asking myself if my peyote critical might be already ready for harvest? I took a sugarleave and put it under my microscope and some trichomes are slightly amber but some are completely transparent...

The main cola on this girl has no smell and is not sticky compared to the rest of the plant. Only thing I can come up with is that maybe I burned it with the light.

Need Partial Harvest Advice
In week 3 of flower, WW RQS FEM PHOTO, still another 6 weeks to go. In about 10 days, I'd like to maybe cut an ounce off the top, do a quick water cure and dry on it while the rest keeps growing. Will that ounce be 50% strength or? Thoughts/tips/advice? Yesterday's pic attached.

Hi, it's my first indoor cultivation with two qualities of autoflowering and I don't know if I'm doing everything well. 12 days have passed and they seem a little small. What do you think about it? Thank you

Scrog Defoliation during flowering - how hard to go?
I'm going into 4th week of flower, and I'm fairly sure they're done stretching now, and have filled the screen nicely. How much should I be defoliating at this point? Should I take just leaves, or also small budsites under the canopy? Critical xxl on left, OG Kush on the right.

Contest curiosity
For those who have experience in contests: How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isn’t that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl

I was really careful when defoliating so far and the plant is really bushy now. Should I remove big leaves blocking lower colas for more light penetration at this stage, or should I wait for stretching to end?

Shock during vegetation
Does anyone know, when autos get really stressed during vegetative stage do they bloom normally or do they bloom lately? I am assuming their growth continues until they are ready.

Clone is 3 days old she recovered a lot vs her saggy look after I left her under direct sunlight (lesson) but she's still not straighten as she should be yet. The first 2 days I've moisturized the dome twice, day 3 I started to open the dome for couple hours. What should I do?

light intensity for clones right after transplant ?
basically should you treat them like a early veg ? using migro 4 array and it recommends 40 percent intensity at 35 cm away for early veg. or because they are just transplanted should I give them a lower light intensity.

Is my camera ok for judging trichomes?/these milky?
Getting anxious about harvest time. Am I good with camera zoom, or loop is essential? I'm at day 69, don't think I see any amber, but almost all my hairs are orange. Any info on judging ripeness would be appreciated.
