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.

Flowering/Preflowering/Showing sex in Vegative Stage?
Hey, Today I noticed all my outdoor plants have pistils after being 3-5weeks outside. Is this normal and will they continue veg due to increasing days/temps? Also, could this be reversed with additional light? Currently in the 7th week of Spring with 14h light and 13h sunrise.

Homegrown Purple haze has no effect Anyone knows why
My purple haze I grew has no effect when smoking it, you feel a little lighter and a bit happier but there is no trip at all. I used some pure sativa's before and they were not like this. Why is my bud like this maybe the terpenes? my previous plants didn't have this problem.

Will the trichomes on my Herbies Ape Fruit Auto ever change to cloudy or has something 'stopped' in the mature buds?
What's up with my Ape Fruit Auto? While still glassy, the colour of the flower is "leaking" up the trichomes from their base, i.e., the 'head' of the trichome is still clear but there's a bleedthrough of flower colour up the 'stem'. Also appears to be less straight! Check diary.

Heatlight stress?
Can someone tell, are these brownish tips the sign of the heat stress or something else? And how bad is that for the plant's not so distant future? She grows indoors. Peak DLI was almost 60 but very briefly about one night. Now it's dimmed to 40dli/~600ppfd/ 20/4 schedule.

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!
