Will taking about 1/8 off top of flowers promote fattening ?
Homestickycannabisstarted grow question 5y ago
Hey all. I am curious to know if back building buds is actually effective. I seen a YouTube video where they actually "toped" the buds. The person took about 1/8 off the top of all his flowers. They were about 5 weeks into flower. He stated that it helps fatten up the buds ????

Complete rubbish.
Leave them to grow naturally, they will only grow as fat as their genetics are programmed to do.
Topping buds will just reduce yields.

I have seen the same video. I have never tried it and haven't come across anyone one this site doing it. I was tempted to have a go but never did. I personally think it could be a load of crap. If your curious only do it on a couple of buds.

Trichomes colorHey there!
I’m a bit confused with the trichomes colors since it’s my first grow and the first time looking at them. Is this the milky/white colour or still clear ? I did some research but they actually look pretty similar to me. I can even see some amber I guess?

White pistils close to harvestHello growers! Thanks for your help. So I'm approaching harvest (yellowing leaves, mostly milky trichomes, fat buds) but many pistils are still white. Flowering is supposedly 7-9weeks, I just entered week 9. Waiting for more amber trichomes, should I wait to have orange pistils?Week 16

When to harvest? and general opinion on the buds :)I have two automatic gorilla cookie flowers. One of them is more advanced in terms of the flowering stage and I'm not sure when I should cut it.
It is currently about three weeks in bloom but I do not have a microscope to check the trichomes. I will only have it in two weeks.

Bud too close to the lightHi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

leavesWhy does it look like my leaves on buds are curling they almost look like a little scoop, is it normal? Or what can it be? I got the root aphids under control not eliminated but the population has diminished. What do I buy to check the nuts and soil for deficiencies? Buds fatten?
