Absolutely. I wouldnt just pull individual buds though, take the whole section and begin properly drying.

Are these lower branches a waste of energy/ are they good for clones?Hi all. I’m on my first grow and I have these lower branches on each of my plants and I do not think they will be sufficient in creating buds as they are behind the rest of my canopy and most likely are draining energy. Should I cull them and can they be used as clones? Thanks

Flipping through light cycles like a maniac. Will there be consequences?Due to logistics, I have had to grow 1 seedling and all my current clones starting with 18/6 light cycle, then had to go to 24/0. Now it would be needed to flip back to 18/6. Do I risk turning my girls into hermies or something of the sorts?

Reasons why a verified photo period would throw pistols during a vegetation light schedule. No other plants in the tent are throwing pistols. At the time of strting to throw pistols it was on a 24 hr light schedule?

Flowering after 19 days I have 3 purple lemonade autos. They are all 19 days from sprout. So i noticed on one of the plants white pistols starting. Does this mean its flowering at not even 3 weeks in? The plants are all fed the same cycle. Plant is 5.5inches tall
