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.

My plant is really starting to struggle with fungus's and I have no idea how to stop this. I had to remove 2 branches already because of this. I'm nearly 100% sure it's botrytis. Any suggestions?

Buongiorno amici della canapa 💚, Secondo voi è possibile che i peni siano stati generati per un eccessivo stretching in fase di germinazione?

Flushing 420 fast buds six shooter
I'm 1 day Into week 7 should I start flushing my six shooter auto now as most of them I've seen finish in 8-9 weeks. I know she's only small but I'm hoping the 'bits' I do get are chronic.

When to harvest. Amber trichomes but white pistils.
I was surprised to find about 10% amber trichomes on each of these 4 plants today. 2 GMO cookies and 2 Purple #1 by Dutch Passion. One of the plants has some amber trichomes but almost all of the pistils are still white.

new white pistils
noticed some new white pistil growth this morning - I have not seen that before on my other grows. Is this due to stress? I am so close to harvest now should I even be bothered?

Identify this please?
Anybody know what this is at the top of my bud?! Looks like a flower?! Got so many new white pistils all over which is surprising this late into flower?! Is this why she is called white widow? 🤔

Excessive pistol development?
Does this extreme pistol growth appear potentially normal? Or does she look stressed out. Just concerned about this one. No signs of nanners that I can tell. Unfortunately it is very difficult to inspect this plant thoroughly without damaging it. Plant appears very healthy.

Do buds that are burnt from getting to close to the led lights recover? Or is the bud just not gonna grow now? I’ve attached some pics below. I included pics of how I found the bud and how it looked over the next couple of days. Let me know. Thanks.

NL Auto Day 56 — after major nutrient imbalance: I don’t know how to rehabilitate or determine when ready to flush and harvest... Suggestions for a n00
I committed a n00b mistake & got the nutes all outa whack during bloom. Now the fan leaves are yellowing and brittle. The stigmas are also turning orange, but I don’t see ANY amber trichs — maybe just burned? I fed again, but don’t know how to tell when to flush for harvest. THX!

General plant health/ look,,, Pistil color? Herming? Other concerning stuff?
I'm curious about the general look of my 2 plants for their time. ending week 5/ starting week 6. First 4 pics are "black sugar", the last 2 pics are "white widow". Should the pistils be this color this early? Any herming? Any other very concerning things? Thanks so much!

How to know when calyxes are swollen?
When I look at my buds, the calyxes look big to me - however, due to inexperience, I'm not sure exactly what a 'swollen calyx' looks like. Do the calyxes here look swollen to you? Also, if anyone could guesstimate how far from harvest I am, it would be great! Trich pix in diary~

Let me know what you guys think. It's been a day and a half since the initial flush, and to me is really looking nice. For such a small plant I was happy with it's growth. Leave your opinions, I'm usually a photoperiod grower but I'm loving this autoflower stuff super cool.
