I can tell you by the pictures that she is not ready yet. As she is not ready yet you have the time to go on Amazon and spend less than 5$ on a magnifier which is the best way to know when to harvest based on the trichomes ratio verification to know if the plant is ready or not. You can still use the old school pistils method but it's not really accurate and based on that method you are far from harvest . My advice is to reduce the light schedule to a 20/😄4 , it could help her and limit their cal mag need as to maintain under w4h they are eating more 😊

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3y ago

Hello brothers and sisters...
Plant this baby girl with her tap root facing down? I mean, I'm sure down is the way to go, but I get a question so might as well make sure...

Defoliation in mid-late floweringCan I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?

Based on the dreadful pictures I have, does anyone agree she is ready to be cut? Will have to trust me when I say there seems to be the majority of trichomes either cloudy or amber.
I know the leaves are bad looking, I think she got too hot for a few days when I went away :(Week 11

Pre-flower defoiliationI flipped my lights to 12/12 about 4 days ago and I don't believe I done a well enough job on defoiliating.
The plants are healthy but the canopy looks a little crowded.
Can I defoiliate now or should I wait until the pre flower stretch is finish

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? OutdoHigh, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.
