Veg - Flowering

Showmethewaytogrowhomestarted grow question 5y ago

I think flowering is right around the corner with my RQS fat banana auto (x5) and northern light auto (x1). How will I know for certain that flowering has come? I need to make several adjustments when that happens.

Zoals ik kan zien is er voorbloei aanwezig in de internodes. Dat zijn de eerste tekens. Van zodra er witte bloeiharen in de toppen verschijnen is het dan volop gestart. Het is alvast geen autoflower die lang op zich zal laten wachten voor ze gaat bloeien👍

Pistols isn't a forsure sign of flower. It can be just showing sex and maturing. Once the tops of each branch start to "nug" up. It looks like a ball of leaves. Once you see several pistols forming at the tops of these branches. You can officially say it's in flower. Look at other complete dairys and see how their plant looks at the beginning of flower

Hi ! Je planten zitten in voorbloei en gaan weldra goed beginnen bloeien. Wat bedoel je met verschillende aanpassingen?🙂 Ik geef graag even mee dat je dag en nachttemperatuur iets teveel verschilt. Probeer je nachttemperatuur wat omhoog te krijgen of zorg overdag voor meer luchtcirculatie. Veel succes!🌱

Strip off small growth?Hi. Now plants are in Flowering phase, I am wondering whether I should strip off some of the small growth occurring on the lowest arms (see red rings on photo), and therefore try to concentrate the growth/energy in the upper branches and therefore the potentially bigger buds?

almost 3 weeks into flower and my hottest days are at 85F. nights usually 71. I'm using 2 lights and don't want togo to 1, which would help a couple degrees. Curious if 85 is bad for flower and trichomes or what I could try to bring it down..?

This look close to harvest?Thinking it is close to harvest. Think it has gone from clear to milky but not certain. Guess I need to get something with better magnification than a phone picture. What do experienced eyes think looking at the picture?

Foxtail at the late flowering stage. Should I crop or should I go?I lately realized that this lady started to foxtail on all buds. So she couldn't produce enough millky trichomes yet. Normally the harvest time should be 1-2 weeks ago. Should I crop or wait for the production of a few more amber trichomes?

Bud Rot Noticed and removed two affected buds with rot.. Stems look like rotten near bud sites and nearly all fan leaves are yellowing. Weather is bad again. Should I pull the plant or leave and monitor?

No microscope => Need your expert eyes :D I'll have a microscope next week. But since i got a "not too bad" macro photo with my phone, could you share your opinion with me? I believe Trichomes are at the "cloudy" stage, am i right ? At what stage should I stop feeding? (the flush) (First grow ever) Thanks !! 😍

Hello! I have found that a lot of my leaves have white dots. First it was on only one of the plants, so I divided them. But now it seems to be on all of them. Is this what I think it is (botrytis)? Is there any way to save the plant or harvest at this point? Thank you!

Crunchy buds mid-flower So my buds feel kinda hard and crunchy compared to my last grow. Are they just dense? And should I prune all the dead leaves? (RH is steady @45, as well as temp @78)
