What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.

Right, I have an idea but would like other views. How long do you think my girls have left? Estimate harvest weights too? Goo!

I have recently seen other growers partially harvest their plants. I understand the theory behind it, the lower buds get a chance to mature and bulk up. I am looking for growers that have experience in this and whether it is worth it and how you went about doing it.

They are in 2 gallon pots right now. When should I switch them to 5 gallon? When should I start flower. I can get my light 2 inches away from the top of my tent and my tent is 6ā7ā tall.

Knowing when and how to defoliate is causing me headache. Please have a look at week 15 pics and tell me how much more defoliation do I need. I'm worried about stunting the growth of the buds.There is too much of a shaded undergrowth.

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically. I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. Thanks

SCROG VS KANE ā¢what do you think is the better method over all , personally I find a scrog net very restricting for maintainace and often still have to use supports for the chunky bud . Kaneās are good for weight and light but donāt offer much room for guiding growth?

I'm in my 11th week and have stopped adding nutrients last week. I'm planning on harvesting at the end of this week, I'm following the advice given two weeks ago. Does this seem like a good timeline to follow? I'm looking for a nice clean high, not too heavy effect. Thanks

I may be jumping the gun here, but when should I start topping photoperiods? And when should I transplant them? Should I wait for the root mass to fill the pot?

Do i need to defoliate or is it alright for my plants to be this bushy? Just worried about airflow for the coming flowering period. If so, how do i do it? Ive heard of some people that just take off all vegetation up to a certain point in the plant

Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest branches from the plant. Doesn't look like they'll make a 50 cm stretch up but I'm not sure. Tips?
