Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, should I cut the ...
Experimentgreenanswered grow question 6 years ago
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

Drying in too warm circonstances. Dry with leaves on?I will be harvesting my first grow! But I'm worrying the climate in my country won't make drying easy. What should one do in case of to high temperatures. I will try to find a well vented place thats not to hot. But should I try drying without cutting all foliage to dry slow? 🥦✌️Week 9

Drying. Which option should I go for? [expert opinions required]1) Drying in a shed outside [gets very hot middays and low hum and low airflow]
2) Drying in a cupboard outside [also hot with sun hitting it directly but much much smaller than the shed]
3) Drying in an inside cupboard [which will make my room stink but with stable conditions]Week 14

When to harvest auto flower? Can I push it to week 13?Wondering when to harvest these bad boys. Trichomes don’t appear amber yet. Website for the seeds say 70-90 days seed to harvest. I’m wondering if I can push it to 90 days (13 weeks(ish)) even if they appear ready at 70. Will that effect my harvest?

Why did the smell almost disappear?buds are drying and have been hanging for about 4 days. They still have awhile to go. But I noticed they have a hay/chlorophyll type smell and the bud smell is pretty much gone... will it come back during the curing or did I fuck up some how?
Its been 65⁰-72⁰ Humidity 40-50%

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of floweringDoes it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.

Autoflower: Harvesting in SectionsHello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? Thanks

In the dark before harvest?Is it imperative to put them in the dark before harvesting? I've built myself a dry box that will keep them dark, cool, and the air circulating. I still have plants growing so I can't off the lights and I don't have anywhere else to set them.

Once again I must ask, is it ready for harvest?Pistols are anywhere from 60-80% orange depending on the cola, and the trichomes are mixed, I see some clear, I see milky and I see amber.We're mid week 8 of flower as well. If it's close enough should I ice the pot and start my 2 days of darkness now?
