When do I harvest a 50/50 hybrid?
My hybrid has been growing for 8 weeks now and is a 50/50 hybrid. I did feed her too less nutes for half or 2/3 of the flowering (my mistake). Does she look ready to harvest in a week or 2? I read that these are best harvest when most thricomes are milky.

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?

How are we looking for 12 weeks? #twomoreweeks?
Can i have a little estimate on how long she still has to go? taking pictures of trichomes is quite hard, sorry. I'm still giving normal bloom nutes but i'm guessing i should start flushing soon despite using only organic products? and finally, are my buds looking a little small?

Pre harvest advice
Tomorrow I’ll be the first day of Tangy’s week 12. Two or three weeks until harvest? Start flush this week? Any advice appreciated. She’s my most successful (frostiest batch) so far. But buds are loose and soft. Not hard nugs.

Normal looking bud sites or too airy ?
Hi guys, This is my 1st grow and I’ve been putting some real effort into it, mainly with LST. This is day 58 for my Green Gelato AUTOFLOWER and though I’m really excited to see so many bud sites, they don’t seem to be thick enough. Is it just too soon? Or am I too impatient lol?

I'm growing in coco outside and using flairform greendream and reiziger bloom nutes and wanted to know if using molasses is all that beneficial and if yes can it be used in coco?? Thanks in advance.

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?
This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

Any advice on what’s the best growing technique to optimize bud production? I’ve seen so many techniques but they seem to be mostly for indoor, or to have a bushy plant that doesn’t grow in height. But I don’t mind the height, so which technique you guys think is best? Thanks

Dying plant / pale and twisting leaves in the middle of flowering (after heavy defoliation)
Hi guys. My Dark Phoenix is in deep shit! It's dying and I don't know why. The ppm is rising (around 1800 now), ph is stable at around 5.7, humidity is 35%. The leaves are looking overall pale and some of them are twisting. I defoliated it quite heavily. Please help!

Ready for harvest?
Does anyone think this plant is ready for harvest? It went through a decent amount of stress early in veg and it seems as the buds aren't developing or fattening anymore

Why are my buds so small? Gonna be harvesting in the next week or 2 and I thought they’d be bigger. Colas look like mostly sugar leaves :( What did I fuck up so I don’t repeat in the next Grow?

So I have heard week 5 flowering really explodes, but I am in week 4, she seems healthy, with just a hint of nute burn but the flower growth seems slow to harvest in a month. My question is can anyone see any problems with her that could account?
