Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?
DTarostarted grow question 5y ago
Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

The buds fatten quite a bit in late flower. Personally I keep the popcorn nugs and throw em in my trim pile for butter making. Happy growing.

Id leave unless your 100% sure its just a sucker. By the looks of your popcorn buds, they'll fating up nicely. Looks very healthy, If Its not broken don't fix it :))
Very nice flowers, great job!

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?Week 3

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds).
The description says SCROG and LST work good.
I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier.
I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations.
Should I?6y ago

Hello all, I am into organic or (natural at least) nutrients, I am wondering if there could be a 2 part resolution. Such as A- Fish Fertilizer 2-3-1 when veg and, B-liquid seaweed or seaweed powder 0-0-17 in flowering. And some of recharge. I don't want to buy colored H2O :)Week 3

Harvest autoflower so soon?Auto Gelato from Ganja Farmer. Its day 58 and the trichomes are cloudy and the pistils are red/orange. The buds are beautiful and fragrant but still pretty small. Can she really be nearing harvest in less than 2 months? Is bud size typically lost in favour of speed with autos?4y ago

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.Week 8
