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

Is it weird for a hermie plant to have pistils and anthers inside a male ball at the internodes?
So I’ve seen this before on an auto flower run. All turned out with no seeds but I have 2 monkeyberry plants rn that look like they have that exact same thing going on. Am I wrong in thinking this is weird or is it normal for herm plants to have pistils and anthers in male ball.

Reversed from the middle of the blooming season.
Hello.I am growing autoflowering plants.I grew it outdoors until the early flowering period and then went indoor from there.I did LST from the middle of the flowering period and after that the leaves started coming out of the tops of the buds without jagged edges.

Hanging to dry and curing is a myth My friend was growing his first grow auto flower zkittles .. The plant started to dry of because she was at the end
He got mad and turned of the lights and never checked on the plants he gave up.. A year later I went to smoke with him.. I notice he still have the tent.. I open the tent and there it was the plant still. all dried up and cure He never cut them of the pot.. best smoke ever..

Ethos Genetics Indica Strains
Hi Budz. I recently recieved a Ethos Genetics Freebies FPOG. I'm amazed at the quality of the buds and the amount of trichomes it produces. I'm a fan of Indica Strains. Does anyone know of a pure Indica strain from Ethos Genetics? Their strains are complicated.

Ealry Flower on acclimated outdoor??
Anybody ever hear of a plant flowering this early outdoors? Grew the same strain last year, and it was way later. It's been out for a while, and in veg the whole time. Two days ago I looked and the hairs have multiplied and baby buds are forming already.

Trichome Advice--Cloudy enough to stop giving nutes??
I'm trying to figure out when I should stop giving nutes. I've read 1-2 weeks before harvest when the trichomes turn Amber. My question is: Based on these trichomes, when would you stop giving nutes? Do they look cloudy enough to stop now? Or should I wait until I see amber?

Hermaphrodites or bananas?
Finished week 5 of flowering- just wondering if anyone sees signs of herming or bananas. A plant hermed next to these, so I'm hoping i caught it early enough, before it got a chance to drop any pollen. The first 4 pics are of 1 plant, the last 2 pics are of a different plant.

Harvest times?
Hi guys, it's about 6 weeks since I noticed the first little small flowers. What do you think about it? I could harvest in three days otherwise I'll have to harvest in two weeks because I'm leaving. Some friends will take care of them but won't harvest for me.
