Topping during Flowering: good or bad?
BigBaldBuddystarted grow question 3 years ago
Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

hi!
do not top them! i use to rise the shortest ones putting some bricks under the pots. that's the easiest way for me to have a leveled canopy.
cheers!

I wouldnt top anymore. Just bend down the highest colas with LST and you should be fine, nice even grow....

Small holes, yellow border, new young leaves, Fungi?What could this be, and how can I treat it?
Been very Humid the past 3 Weeks. Rainfall increased too in South Germany.
Treated it with Neem Oel. I think/hope it stopped spreading. Been observing it for a week now and always treating it with a very thin mixture of Neem Oel.

Help!! Do I harvest?About 50% milky, 40% clear trichome heads. But in some minor spots, they are all dark brown/amber. Its supposed to be a Forbidden Cherry Automatic (Dutch Passion), but did not turn purple. I want it to be a bit more relaxing, indica-like. Week 11, outdoor balcony grow.

Should the first tiny node be removed?Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

Topping/Cloning QuestionI am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.Setup. Clones

Homegrown Purple haze has no effect Anyone knows whyMy purple haze I grew has no effect when smoking it, you feel a little lighter and a bit happier but there is no trip at all. I used some pure sativa's before and they were not like this. Why is my bud like this maybe the terpenes? my previous plants didn't have this problem.Week 11

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?
