End of my 7th week of flower with this indica-dominant Green Crack. Breeder says 7 to 8 weeks. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, although a few are still clear. 1 or 2 amber ones. I want an energetic high. Just posted a new pic of plants. Harvest in 3 days or wait 1 week?

I reckon I should start to flush now for the next 2 weeks or so until harvest. Would you agree with this estimate, and is there anything critical I need to look out for at this stage? They're about to start their 5th and 6th week of flowering, respectively.

Hopefully not wasting my question here. But trying to enter newbie of the month giveaway. How does it work? How do I know if I've entered? I've clicked the button but won't seem to allow me to add my diary, does it have to be complete before I enter these competitions? Thanks

Has anyone had any grow complications due to a light? I don’t want the problem to be the light I have taken a precaution. But if it comes to it I’d rather order a new one that’s not like this as it’s the first time I’ve seen orange and yellow added? Am I over thinking it?

Added a picture of a bud that I pulled off, appeared burnt and dry. After taking it down the top of this bud was dry enough to grind and smoke. Had anyone had this before? The rest of the plant is still wet and plant like? See pictures....

Hey guys, this is my first attempt at mainlining. Should I remove more of the lower growth or should I just leave it now?

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth auto
Hello! Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage? Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility. Many thanks.

Not sure what’s going on but the past few days lots and lots of my pistols have been going an orange brown colour And it’s more evident every day. Only thing I can think of is there has been lots of rain this week and a higher humidity. Any ideas/ suggestions? Check last 2 pics.
