Wait till the hairs curl in against the bud structure and most are colored. Look for around 20% amber trichomes on the buds not sugar leafs for my favorite harvest point. 🤘😤

Unsmokeable QWET, really bitter, not pleasant to smoke at all. Any suggestion guys? I dont really get what I do wrong//
Method: Fresh Harvested Weed / 97ºalchool in freezer, weed in Jar, 30 sec and 2 min wash, strainer, coffee filter, let evaporate room temp. Purged x2 in vac. machine. May, the fact that the plant was not flushed yet, affect the end product? Not the first time my QWET is bitter.

I came home to NL2 looking a little sad. The bottom fan leaves seem unaffected. However, the upper parts of the plants make it seem underwatered. NL1 is doing just fine. This is a first for me. Any thoughts on what can be the cause?

Have you ever seen a correlation between smell and taste ?
If it has good smell, do you expect a good taste, or do you just expect to what the seedbank says about the taste of the genetic? What about F1 which has a lot of different phenotype? If once plant has a distinctive smell compared to the other, will she also have a better taste?

Many of my seedlings are drooping, with some yellowing and even some brown spots. I think my increased watering schedule is the problem. Does that sound right? What corrective action should I take?

Fioritura troppo veloce
Chiedo un vostro parere.. È possibile che all'incirca alla 5 settimana di fioritura ci siano già tricomi ambrati sulle infiorescenze? Se fosse così dovrei raccogliere nei prossimi 5 o 6 giorni. È il mio primo ciclo con autofiorenti quindi per me è molto strano.

has anyone successfully recovered a "drowning plant" in DWC? Solution temp went to high and lowered DO in the water. I've added another airstone and pump to push more o2 in. Any other pointers or similar experiences and solutions?

I've had some issues with over/under watering this grow (which is my first) and especially the past two days which is a little frustrating as I can't yet differentiate between the two, can anyone give me solid advice to identify and/or avoid under/over watering? Thanks!
