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.

How long between the sugar leaf trichomes turning amber and the bud trichomes turning amber?So I'm noticing on my leaves, many of the trichomes are amber - perhaps 20-30% average, and up to 50% on some. However, the buds have not gotten there yet. Approximately how long before the buds catch up?
PS: are these trichomes cloudy or clear? I have an inexperienced eye. 😇Week 10

Should I harvest soon?Hello growers, so it’s week 9 of flower and i started to flush them, but the head of the pistils aren’t very visible (I use a 40x jewelry) should I left it more time? And on the other plant I had, I was able to see.
Sorry for the pics they aren’t very good.
Thank you!
