Correct, wait until 90-95% brown pistils/hairs. Having the light above the plants would speed things up, although that may be impossible. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Don't worry they will soon bulk up. When you have 80 to 90% brown hairs it's time for the flush. Would say your a bit off that.

Hi, So i already understood that you need to defoliate, so i hope to get answers from supporters of that idea .. I did my first defoliation on day 14, girls responded perfectly and i thought to make one more on day 40. Or should i make one on day 30 and one on day 42?

Flush question again
When I start to flush does that signal the end of the bud fattening up or will they continue to put on weigh during a 2 week flush?

Floración lenta
Alguien sabe por qué la floración va tan lenta y las flores son tan pequeñas? Puede ser sobrealimentación o falta de luz? El pH de drenaje me sale a 5.4 , creo que es bajo y la EC de drenaje está en 4000.

Bigger buds?
Looking for feeding advice for my 2 autos. Trying to increase terps and bud growth without burning my roots from nutes, and not burning my leaves from too much light. Heading into week ten.

Auto flower stalled flower?
I have an Auto flower that is about 3 weeks into flowering but I'm seeing very little trichome development so far. I have two other autos from the breeder, different strain, that's frosting up nicely. This is supposed to be a faster finishing auto so I'm a bit confused what to do

Autos - pistil colour, timing, and bud expectations
One of my autos is seeing a lot of pistil colouration already. I am in approx week 4 of bloom. Can I expect more bud growth, new pistils, or is this a sign that this is more or less as big as we're gonna get? I know with photos pistils can appear in waves as buds fatten. TIA

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Should I harvest or let her go?
Should I let this girl go longer? It’s an autoflower but mostly the bottom hairs are still white, could I just top the top off and leave the bottom to mature longer? Buds have stayed the same for the most part in the last couple of weeks in terms of density. First grow!

Hey friends! Getting a few weeks into flower and looking for some expert opinions on final push feeding and eye for rough estimate on harvest
Hey friends! Getting a few weeks into flower and I have them into a solid feeding regimen and have introduced black strap molasses with ph water in between nute feeds. What can I do to keep pushing bud chunking based on your best estimate for weeks left until harvest?

Partial chop soon?
Creeping up to chop time. Dos si dos looks closer, trichomes starting to cloud, see pics. White LSD buds smaller, glassy and less tight. Good idea to chop middle out of lefty as soon as it's cloudy, open up more space for righty? Will it help righty swell up or is it too late?
