Flowering is good. I'm contraplating on cutting the lower small flowers to help give better growth to the tops? Any advice?

Yes! This is a common practice some people call lollipopping. The big top cola's will thank you ☺️

Do it! I cut all the “suckers” off! I want big fat buds and the plant to spend it’s energy on them. Get good sharp shears and clean them with alcohol. Cut away! ✌️🏻💚💨🌿

First grow question. Appreciate feedback from experienced growers
First grow; OG kush auto. Day 60. Main cola bud in pic showing more trichomes. It’s 4 days past breeder date for harvest. No signs of yellowing leaves, brown pistals or amber trichomes. Happy frog Soil minimal nuts added. Best guess of how long to harvest?

Hermie still or ok now? its stacked with trichomes and looking awersome can it go back in main grow to finish flowering or to risky still?
Hermie or ok? This Peyote Crit showed some Male traits a couple of weeks ago with two shiny unopened pollen sacks low on a stem I removed them, and also removed the plant from my main grow. I found one nana sticking out of a flower. I continued to flower in cupbrd is it ok now?

Harvest time indicator
Do you use indicators other than trichomes for harvest time? I'm aware of different ratios of clear/cloudy/amber depending on various locations. Curious about any other indicators you've noticed over the years? Thanks for sharing!😻

Pollinated?
Has my lady been pollinated? What to do now? I've removed anything that was a Naner and anything where Naners seemed to be growing... I'm at week 6 of flower and hope to have 3 more weeks or so. I had a male in this tent and removed him after 3 days during week 1 of flower.

How do you know your plants are ready for harvest?
When do I harvest my plants and what are the best ways to know I am ready to harvest? Can you see trichomes with 8x digital zoom well enough to determine if you should harvest?

TCH or Bleaching?
I have a single white tip in the whole canopy, and most of the tips are touching the light so it doesn’t look like bleaching? Is it possible it’s all trichomes?

I love this strain.
I really love the smoke that this flower makes. At first I was disappointed because the smell is not really citrusy and neither is the flavor. Think orange creamsicle. The appearance must also play a role in where it gets its name because it is orange and white all over.

Photos and autos
Hi! As I'm growing some photos and autos in the same tent, side by side... will it be ok to induce flowering and it still not affect the autos harvest? Or should I let them veg and do a bit more canopy management to help keep it low, until the autos are ready to harvest?18/6 now

Deficiency or Genetics
Would you guys guess the yellowing on these leaves is more natural coloration from genetics or do you guys see something more? Plant is definately small but seems to be healthy and buds keep growing.

Lack of trichomes
Anybody knows why this last girl doesn't product trichomes ? Buds are tall and seem consistent but not sticky nor smelly. Half week 13 and her leaves are turning yellow and dying. When I check with the microscope (×60-100) I have to get deep in the bud to find some.

What is this?
I am a first time grower and my plants are into their flowering stage. Unfortunately due to lack of experience I have no clue what this is. In the bud there is a sort of green seed like in female plants but I am pretty sure my plant is female is this is just how the bud grows?

Obligatory harvest question, good to go, or no?
I was thinking of harvesting, but what do you think? It's a little wispy still, but the trichomes and pistils look ready. Opinions greatly appreciated!
