New bud site after defoliation. Keep or trim?
cnkicestarted grow question 5y ago
Found those perfect healthy new bud sites after defoliation. Bud sites are below my trellis but have exposure to light.
1. Should I trim them to boost the main cola above? I'm in flower week 5 and my strain is auto.
2. Keep them.
Any suggestions?

Trim to help get the other sites fatter :)
As mentioned tho, keep em and dry em etc and see what your girls will be like :)

If you were a few weeks earlier, I would say cut everything that is below the trellis.
Since you’re in week 5, I would just let them go now. Cheers!

This late in, you really won't gain anything by trimming them now. Let them go and use them for hash.

Pulling some S1's off of my autos?Anybody with experience on rodelization w/ autos that could provide some guidance? I germ'd all five seeds at the same time but have two plants maturing much faster than the others. Could it give me enough window to force 'nanas and pollenate? If so, how?5y ago

Found a nanner in one of my buds. Should I cut right away and don't wait the last 5/7 days?Hey guys, I found a nanner in one of my buds, she came out overnight and I immediately sprayed with water and plucked it with tweezers. I'm a week away from my first harvest and trichomes are 10%clear, 87%cloudy and 3%amber. Should I chop her early? I don't want couch lock effect4y ago

Is it time to harvest?My Gorilla Cookies is almost 8 weeks old (incl. germination) and shows many amber trichomes and some dried pistils, though many are still white. Orange Sherbet, same age and seedbank, is less mature. Temps were 32-33°C. Is this heat stress or early ripening? Can I cut my plant?Buds. Other

Will there always be fresh bud growth on an auto-flower (max thc/no couch-lock goal)?ready for harvest bc most of the pistils are mature? Clearly not yet because of new growth? The trichromes are looking like a mix of clear and cloudy, little to no amber yet. I would like to know if there will always be fresh pastil/bud growth even when she’s ready for harvest?Buds. Other
