Top bud mature before the rest?

SugarBoogersstarted grow question 4 years ago

Should I remove the very top portion of the plant because of trichome color and maturity or should I let it keep going? The rest of the plant is still showing it's growing but idk if I should take the top portion off or leave it. Thanks in advance!

Just leave it, no recovery time during flowering. The top will always mature faster then the rest of the plant. Best to leave it and monitor the majority of the buds than just one cola.

I don't think taking just the top is a good idea as the recovery from the stress takes to long. It's not worth it in IMO. Cheers

Dears, please tell when to begin rippening? Want to start after 4-5 days, for one week.

Will a node that is from a bottom branch still produce a fat cola if it’s up in the canopy the same height as the top buds? Or does it need to be a top bud?

I know it takes time for buds to stack and fatten up. My question is, will molasses be of any benefit to me or is that for the organic grows? As I've read the sugar feeds the microbes and not the plant itself. Also how's she looking? if it was your plant what would you change?

I know breeders timeline for seeds is unrealistic, but this plant has gone two weeks past expections for seed. Not that I'm rushing it, but does she look ready? I'm only curious so I can have room in my tent for the next two for my perpetual setup. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello everyone! As this is my first grow idk how i'm doing so i have doubts, how much time do you think that the plant needs to be harvested ? I was thinking on 90 to 100 days and I see that my flowers are very skinny yet, and I would like to get them a little bit bigger.

Harvest help again... please Second grow, I’m second guessing myself! I took a few branches last week for my husband who likes a heady high; I prefer more of a couchlock high but we both prefer high thc bud. Planned on harvesting Saturday morning, should I harvest as planned? Now? Wait longer? Thanks!🌱

Cloudy or still clear?Hey all, Just wanted someones opinion on where I am with my trichs. I think I'm about a week out? Also, should I be checking the trichs closer to the middle of the cola as opposed to the top? Thats where I'm looking but want to be sure. I'm excited for my first harvest!

So I’ve seen a lot of people grow the strains I have in my garden right now with lots of colors. I’m in week 3 of flower and I have the slightest of fade but basically I’m all green. Which has been a pattern. Nothing wrong with that but any suggestions to boost color? Temp? Food?

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.
