Not sure when it is time to harvest? This is my first grow, and I've looked up some guides, but It is not clear to me whether I should wait for all the colas to have to right color. The main one looks pretty much done, but there are small ones to the sides still completely white.Week 12

When a breeder quotes an estimated range for yield what assumptions do the make:
1. Is the quoted yield based on wet or dry weight
2. Is the range based on standard growth or do the high end numbers typically assume advanced training techniques, supplemental lighting etc.Week 5

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!Week 4

First hydro. Is there anything I'm forgetting about ppm, maintaining pH from the resevoir, keeping rot from growing (non-issue with hydroguard right?) , etc? I plan on something for light, and change the jar and nutes if needed. Will let the roots breathe at the top.Canna->Lucas.Week 1

Near Schwazz Week 6 - AutoflowerMy plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?Week 6

Ive got 2-3 weeks to go, as you can see by the Week 11 lower canopy pics I missed some bud sights on the lower levels when defoliating. They are still mostly pistils and I know they wont get a ton of light or develop alot. Is it worth the stress to remove them now or let em go?Week 11

So I am currently on day 28 of flower and seeing no new signs of deficiencies. I’m running the Sensi bloom schedule at half strength 800ppm. Should I up my feed if my plants aren’t showing signs of deficiencies or will not do anything and just cause salt buildup?Week 13
