started grow question 5y ago
First time ever and I don't know if I've done well: too many leaves? too little? I also took some big fan leaves that were covering some sweet bud spots.

Looks pretty good to me! I’d maybe try and work some LST in to get those branches moved more horizontally to give em room and space to receive light!

Still a relative noob, so please excuse my ignorance. What fertilizer is good for the full cycle (veg, flower, bloom) that is easily available and not outrageously priced? Using a peat/sphagnum mix, virgin soil.... Thanks in advance!

Experienced Defoliation User Question
Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

Week eight of my outdoor Gorilla Zkittlez grow and plants look far from finished yet all trichomes look milky white and the odd amber on some sugar leaves. I feel that it’s still too early to harvest yet I’m not sure. Any suggestions would be appreciated Cheers

Good evening, When looking at the trichs under a microscope, I am noticing basically just clear or clear with red tips, and no cloudy trichs like my last grow. I don't want to go much longer, the buds look great. Any ideas? Can I harvest part now and some later with autos?

Defoliate before harvest
Hi, at week 10 flower my auto is ready for harvest. I'm using Biobizz and will only feed plain water for last week. Should I defoliate now? Shes very bushy &lower buds don't get much light. Tricomes are 10%amber, so i don't have much time left. Any suggestions very welcome. :)

My new lights has a veg and bloom switch for different spectrum, i was thinking of switching off the grow spectrum 2 weeks prior to harvest to simulate the sun being farther at late season , what do you guys think about that? Am i just waisting lights or is it worth the try?

I already topped.Should I be trying to tie down branches? or cutting off the huge fan leaves. The nodes are super close together. I am looking for quality over quantity.
