New bud site after defoliation. Keep or trim?
cnkice
started 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?

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.

Harvest Recommendation
Harvest advice. Updated with closer trichome shot. I think I have another week, but not sure if this would be prime time? Appreciate all the help this week from everyone - been a huge help.

Fat Banana Auto buds growing purple?
Can anyone tell me why my fat banana auto is growing purple bits please? I’ve been looking at some other grows to compare and I’ve not seen it on anyone else's plants. At first I thought it was pretty cool, but now I’m worried I’ve done something wrong!

Switching to flowering nutrients (autoflower)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to when I should start switching these critical purple autoflowers to flowering nutes? As I understand it should be a few weeks after preflowers start? Hard to tell when vertical growth slows when doing LST. This is my first grow ever!

Hey guys, how much time do you have for harvest? Trichome pictures were taken over the calyx. The reason I ask this everyday is that trichomes should not be narcotic🤪

First time grower in Germany, and about 2 weeks away from first harvest. Can anyone distinguish if these are sacs or calyxes? It was a very wet and cold summer in Northern DE, especially in May going into June so I would not doubt if it was overstressed.

Is it a female??
This was a stray seed that I found. Not sure what it is, I’d guess sativa. I believe it looks like a flowering female but I’m just guessing

Buds too mature in the middle of flowering time (trichomes milky/amber)
My Laughing Buddha is into flowering for 55 days now.The breeder says that flowering time takes 65-70 days.The trichomes on the main cola look like 60ish % milky - 40% amber. I know about head and body high trichome color ratios and wanted to ask why it looks so mature that early

One auto not flowering. Just getting big
So the one I'm referring to as autochonk just keeps growing more and more leaves/branches while her sisters have been starting to show pistols and whatnot for a week or two now. All auto flowers about 5 weeks old so other 3 are right on time.
