Thanks for taking time to respond.yes I have been using a big bud booster. This had been an issue with all seedsman grows done, this one is looking best so hoping for some progress over the final couple of week. Thanks again

Please help on leafs on top wilting and some discoloration
Leafs on top star to wilt, maybe because a lack of water due a big plant (1m)in a small pot 11l. I water it last 3 days , its better but flowering seems to be slow. Found also some discolored flowers mostly in the bottom part

At week 5 of flowering, I've read guides but all strains are diff. Does it look like it's time to start flushing 2 weeks and then chop?
I have 4 different strains in my tent with different needs. Next time, probably keep it to one or two strains. Does it look like time to start flushing the plants in the pictures? Having never done this, I don't know how long I can let them fatten and how to time it. Thoughts?

Buds not fattening, but almost ready to harvest??
My auto forbidden cherry is at the end of week 10… Almost 100% of the trichomes are white/milky, but the buds are very fluffy still have white pistils… Is harvest time just around the corner? Is the density so low bc of my mistakes? Will they fatten more or just ripen?

Clearing smaller buds out? small space grow
So it looks like I have a lot of bud sights despite trying to focus on a few. I'm hesitant to cut the smaller ones at this point in the grow, but will they affect the size and density of the larger colas?

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?

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?

Does anyone use Fox Farms Nutrient Trio (Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom)? I'm about to start the late stages of flowering (fattening buds). What nutrient blend do you use? Do you supplement any additives? I've tried Cha-Ching (Fox Farms)? Anyone else?
