Lower Bud Sites - To Prune or Not To Prune
vmass20started grow question 4 years ago
There are bud sites and smaller branches with bud sites below the 'harvest line'. Would it just set the plants back a couple days if prune theses out from stress like with heavy leaf pruning? Or... Should I just leave them be and continue to keep canopy relatively open? Thank you

Yes, Defoliate and lollypop those bottom leaves. Anything at the bottom that gets no light. You want to the light to penetrate to lower branches and have a nice air flow. You'll notice a huge deference in yield and bud size. i have a video on week 6 of my blue frost, have a look at it, underneath my canopy is clear. Hope it helps, happy growing.

Hey Growmie,
Your going to want to remove those lower bud sites and branches that are below the harvest line, they'll end up being popcorn buds and no one wants that. When you using the scrog, your suppose to remove anything below the harvest line. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I know breeders timeline for seeds is unrealistic, but this plant has gone two weeks past expections for seed. Not that I'm rushing it, but does she look ready? I'm only curious so I can have room in my tent for the next two for my perpetual setup. Thanks in advance! 😊5 years ago

Hello everyone! As this is my first grow idk how i'm doing so i have doubts, how much time do you think that the plant needs to be harvested ? I was thinking on 90 to 100 days and I see that my flowers are very skinny yet, and I would like to get them a little bit bigger.5 years ago

I know it takes time for buds to stack and fatten up. My question is, will molasses be of any benefit to me or is that for the organic grows? As I've read the sugar feeds the microbes and not the plant itself. Also how's she looking? if it was your plant what would you change?5 years ago

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.5 years ago

So I’ve seen a lot of people grow the strains I have in my garden right now with lots of colors. I’m in week 3 of flower and I have the slightest of fade but basically I’m all green. Which has been a pattern. Nothing wrong with that but any suggestions to boost color? Temp? Food?Week 7

Harvest help again... pleaseSecond grow, I’m second guessing myself!
I took a few branches last week for my husband who likes a heady high; I prefer more of a couchlock high but we both prefer high thc bud. Planned on harvesting Saturday morning, should I harvest as planned? Now? Wait longer?
Thanks!🌱
