New bud site after defoliation. Keep or trim?
cnkice
started grow question 6y 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.

Bud rot? Mold?
My plant is a bit problematic ("quick one" Auto from RQS, outdoor balcony grow). I'm a bit worried that I have to throw it out, therefore I would like to ask for your expert opinion. :) 1. Is the "brown stuff" on the top bud "bud-rot"? 2. Are the "more intense white spots" mold?

Are these male Pollen Sacs forming, or just damaged calyx?
Autoflower 2 weeks from chop. Plant fell over 2 days ago - perhaps this calyx came in contact with the floor and removed the 'skin' of the calyx? Is she starting to herm? Are these Nanners/ Male Pollen Sacs in the centre of the picture (bright green)? Or are they damaged calyx?

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?

How's she looking? Any tips as we head into the final stretch?
Uploaded a full photoshoot of everything going on with the plant. Based on the images from my grow I'd love some feedback/input about how she's looking. Is the Yellowing of the leaves the normal yellowing? (except the nute burn) Should the Pistils be going brown already?

Preflower at 5weeks?
Didn’t think this was anything at first but her showing that’s she female (3 other strains show the same without the long white pistils). I’m wondering is she preflowering? If you check my diary for any other info:fox farm soil, outside, 13hrs sun, etc. hope it’s not an auto.

Pistils turn brown
Why are the pistils turning brown? Maybe because of the neem spray? This is mostly for the main bud.

¿Mis auto están refloreciendo?
Estas auto deberían haber estado listas hace 3 semanas según ficha técnica, pero están necesitando más tiempo. Ahora cuando pensaba que los cogollos están listos, he visto que algunas plantas han empezado a florecer de nuevo, generando nuevos pistilos blancos ¿Qué debería hacer?

Sugar leaf or bud? What trichromes matter?
I'm looking for some better clarification about checking trichromes. Are the trichromes on the sugar leaves as important as the trichromes on the bud itself, when trying to determine if she ripe for the picken?!

Are these boy-parts or future bud sites?
I've looked at other diaries of the same strain and it seems like they future bud sites but I really don't like their shape. I have a confirmed female of a different strain growing next to it and I need to find out soon. Please help!
