I noticed that the EC Runoff level is lower than what I am feeding to the plants? Is this a good or bad thing. Any suggestions?

It's a normal thing and it's good for you : it means your babies are eating nutrients, which tends to decrease the electrical conductivity. I'll be around, happy growing bro!

Yes the soil is absorbing some of the nutrients from the solution effectively filtering it

Can male flowers pollinate buds that have been already harvested? I've had to cull a couple of plants because they are hermies and I'm worried that pollen from the male flowers will pollinate female buds when I use the same drying rack, is this possible?

So my dear fellow herbalists, Does any of you play music to your ladies ? If so , which kind of music do you play to them ? And why did you choose it , I.e is it for your preference or what you believe is best for help ladies grow ???

Last picture on week 10 has what looks to be a seed pod coming out of middle of bud. No other buds have this out of like 50. Want to make sure this plant hasn't hermied. This is the only one out of all four plants. Looked online cant find anything that looks like this. Thanks.

Being a total novice when it comes to autos I was wondering should I top her soon, leave it a while or not top at all? I keep reading conflicting reports so thought I'd ask actually growers. Thanks in advance :)

How do you guys check your trichomes? What % of amber do you have? Do check for milky/amber on the leaves or the bud itself? I have a microscope but it’s very hard to use unless I trim a little piece of bud or leaf off and inspect it on a table with my microscope.

Removing popcorns
There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

How is the girl looking? Am I being impatient? ( newbie over here ) Day 17... At this stage more stretch was expected as well as a more vigorous grow. ( light is higher than the recommended hight ) Watering 1L every week or so. She hasn't shown any sign of stress. Thank you.

Hello growers. Is there a max limit on how much I should defoliate? I feel like I could improve the light to the lower levels more but I’m worried it could harm the plants and affect the growth?

A few leaves (small & big) turn yellow from the tips while veins stay green. Also rusty and brown spots appear on affected leaves. Buds not fattening or at least very slow. I used BioGrow/Calmag & flower fertilizer but always only 0.5 ml because I noticed a slight nute burn.

I was wondering if there is anything I can use with autos to create a bigger more dense bud? I see a lot of products out there and not sure which one is good for autos and at what strength. I am using Fox Farms products and have about 3-4 weeks before I begin my final flush.

This stuff smells like hay. I am having the same issue as last dry, buds smell like hay, no smell coming out. What can I do? They are in closed box, 79f (can't get it lower, 44 humidity). They have been in there for 30 hours. How can I bring out the aroma?
