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! ✌️🏻💚💨🌿

How is she looking?
Honest opinions please I've not had much time to keep a proper diary on this one but I feel like I have almost cracked this strain. She was slow for a couple weeks after transplant but no real shock. Now in mid flower How does she look and what could I do better?

Trichomes. Are mine clear or cloudy? I have always had a hard time telling. Please let me know if you see any amber also.
Please rate each picture. The first two pictures go to their own plants but the last two are from the same plant. These plants are about 3 days from breeder time. I am waiting until they are cloudy and probably 5-10% amber.

Crunchy buds mid-flower
So my buds feel kinda hard and crunchy compared to my last grow. Are they just dense? And should I prune all the dead leaves? (RH is steady @45, as well as temp @78)

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?

Week 9, Banana Blaze auto. Huge flowers but absolutely zero trichomes and terpenes! The other two phenols are frosty and smell great. Bad pheno or do you think she will come around and produce later on? She is already fading out so I feel like she doesn’t have much time...

Internode Spacing?
Still pretty new to all this and only so much info I can Find online about internode spacing. I’m aware that this is very dependent on strain, genetics and phenotypes but just curious for some feedback, how does my internode spacing look now about 2 weeks into flowering?

White/green thing appearing in middle of bud?
Buds are getting close to harvest. Just noticed a white thing right in the middle of one of the buds. Any idea what it is? It seems hard to the touch. Is it part of the plant/stem? Is it a seed? (do autos even make seeds?) Is it rot/something from a bug? Thanks!

Do some genetics display milky trichomes from the start.
Hey all. I'm wanting some advice. My Dos si Dos 33's trichomes are all milky and she's only been flowering for 5 weeks. Surely she's not ready.
