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.

Harvest or leave go for 2-3 more weeksLight burned buds only 6 weeks into flowering (8 week flower). What to do? Harvest? I corrected the light issue, which I think caused this. Should I still try to let them go a few more weeks? What happens after all the white pistils go brown?Week 12

Earlier this year, I havested an auto flower, and she dind't bulk up the trich production. I ended up with big flowers but with no effect at all.
I was wondering if that has something to do with my light setup.5y ago

Start flushing for harvest?Should I start flushing based off the few amber trichomes speckled throughout and the amount of orange hairs? Pictured is a tiny section, theres about 20 on the whole leaf. I wanted a couple more weeks of flower but seeing those amber trichomes has me rethinking.Week 9

Pre harvest SOPGot a question for the whole community, what does Flush mean to you…some just start to use plain water, some use salt leaching formulas like clearex, and now they’re other products like caked up by crop salt that gets used till day of harvest…so my question is what do you do?Week 6

Stringy mutation or just stress?My Northern Light Auto by RQS has been late since flowering, going very slowly. Lately i started noticing: A) calyx are distribuited quite widely (anyway big and good looking); B) weird sugar leaves. I double checked and there are no male sacs (it's curly sugar leaves)Buds.

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?Buds. Other

How much yield to expect?These are 3 white widows, 18 weeks old and in their 7th week of flower - Maybe another 2 weeks til harvest. Average height is 36 inches.
