Dear Grower, Please don't cut it off. It will stop the plant for some days and is not good for the plant in this late flowering state. I would suggest super cropping or bending it into a direction where it don't block the light. You kink the main cola and bend it. The plant will repair the trunk. It's not so harmful as cutting it off. hope this helps. hf & gl

And some training is not an alternative? like LST or even super cropping? it would be a shame to cut such a beautiful cola early

end of flowering what do you think is the best way to understand when it is ready? I don't want to rush things too much, but theoretically the green gelato automatic should end in 70 days

Harvest time soon?One plant started showing signs of flowering around week 5 and feel like its harvest time soon for her. Today we are at start of week 12. Should I stop giving her nutrient rich water? And harvest in a week or two? I'm curious what the more experienced growers think. Thanks!

Sideways colas..foxtailing?Hi. Just wondering if these look ok. Maybe some nute issues but nothing looks terrible to me. The buds feel pretty dense. Maybe I did LST late and kept the cola low. Are these foxtailing? Is this a problem? This is my first every grow so just looking for input. Thanks!

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard! This genetic curveball beats me. Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

Harvest Season This is my 1st grow and now comes the time where I am very wary of cutting down to soon or too late. I think I am close to a reasonable window to start harvesting. The first signs of flowering began about 55 days ago. I feel like I need to give the pistils more time to curl in.

White Bud Tops Painkiller F36. The upper colas' tops turned white (don't mean the hairs, it's clean white bud parts). I heard this happens when some strains get to close to the light. I don't mind it, but is there any downside to this and do these white parts stay white during drying?

New buds, keeping or removing?What about the new little buds in the lower part. I can't imagine they'll grow big. And the plant could put her energy into big buds instead of "wasting" it for the small ones. Or causes the removing too much stress? The Question is: Keep them or remove them? Thanks in Advance.

Extra light in week 5 flower Got a new timer but messed up setting it up. Plants got 16hrs of light in week 5 of flowering. Turned off lights as soon as I noticed.(5am) Was on 11am-11pm lights on. Should I let it get 12hrs of dark now and resume 12-12, or let lights come on as normal at 11am?
