Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, should I cut the leaves that cover the sun where they are blooming? Is this good or bad? Any opinion or help

Defoliating this early into flowering can definitely force energy into the budsites and if you're getting limited hours of direct sunlight each day I'd want to open those spots up. Personally I'd cut away those 4-6 largest fan leaves that are sticking out off of the main stem on their own, that would open a bit off space but still leave the leaves that are attached to a branch untouched. I also firmly believe in cleaning up the bottoms of any foliage that is in the shadows, the few times i didn't do this i ended up with a lot more tiny popcorn buds than big solid buds up top. ✌️

It's called defoliation and the best way to use that method is to use it exactly the way you're planning too : only remove the leaves that are blocking light to lower budsites AND as you'r in 1st week if flowering the plant will stretch more and will have a chance to recover. When you defoliate you need to do it carefully as you don't want to stress your girl

Der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Fermentieren Wann ist der richtige Zeitpunkt zum curen (fermentieren) gekommen? Ich hatte jetzt 2 kleine Knospen 7 Tage lang getrocknet und sie dann bei 62% ins Glas getan. Am 2. Tag beim Rülpsen riecht es ein wenig nach Heu. Ist das normal? Wie stelle ich bei geschnittenen Buds die Zeit fest

Herb Dryer 2 Hi growmies, Posting here a picture of an initial draft of idea for herb drying with stealth and easiness. Is an helicoidal inline fan too much? Any ideas of other types of carbon filter instead the odorsok? If you get ideas please share ;)

Are my plants ready for harvest Is this close enough for a flush? I’m crap at telling the ripeness on my plants. Looks like it’s mostly milky-ish with about 10%amber. Most photos were from mid plant.

Are these to early to pick?So number one is 100% ready to go, obviously for ease, I'd like to do the whole crop at once. So I just want to know if you guys think these pods are far enough along to dry? I mean the buds themselves not the tricks. Last 4 pics in week I commented them

When is this plant ready to harvest?This is my first harvest and I have no clue if or when this plant is ready to harvest. I know to look for trichomes but I simply don't see the difference between them. Was hoping to harvest next week.

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!

What would you advise I do with my harvest/dry/cure?I got 2 weeks untill I am away for 2 weeks. Should I start flushing now and harvest it next week so she can start curing while I am away for 2 weeks I have no one to mind it or help me out so she will be unattended for 2 weeks and I don't want to fuck up my buds.
