Someone tried "Night stress" before harv...
motaman311answered grow question 5 years ago
Did it once and didn't notice any difference but I only left it in the dark for 24 hours. Ive seen many growers state you need at least 36 hours of darkness to stress the plant to see the increase in resin production. Harvesting right before lights on has the highest terpene levels. If you do make sure your humidity doesn't get extremely high, dont want mold at the end! Good luck!🍀

Hi! you mean 48h darkness before harvest.. I tried and yes maybe there are little more trichomes after that dark time. Also read somewhere that harvest itself should be done before light switches on so that you harvest at dark. Should improve taste.. makes sense..
Hope this helps out! Happy growing!

I haven’t harvest at night time but this years crop will be! The alarm will be set for 4 am ouch ahah I’ve read somewhere, I tried looking for the link but can’t seem to find it now. But they say it improves THC and taste. I’m not sure about the thc but the taste and the smell makes sense. They say at night time the plant release co2, carbon, and surgars which would enhance flavour taste and aroma. But it’s worth a try right? Nothing to lose other then a shit load of coffee ahaha

Leaf colour and budsAre the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go?
Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds?
Thanks 🌈

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right?
I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

Defoliate or LST?Defoliate or LST? Both Grapefruit and Bruce Banner are ready for some love but due to the short bushy nature of this grow, if we LST and start bending the plants their leaves will end up touching the soil. Would it be better to remove a couple of fan leaves to let light in?

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

When to start defoliate?When should i start to defoliate?
I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow.
I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot.
(if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)
