I wouldn't defoliate autos at all the stress can slow them down and if you have the room just let them be that way they tend to yield well :)

Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth. It is that simple! If the plant did not need those leaves, it would not have grown them in the first place!

?To Chop or Not to Chop?
Im really in two minds as to chop her yet or not. Trichomes look mostly cloudy and very few white pistols left, but the top buds have that light green 'still growing look' or am I wrong? Not the easiest question for others but I would like others opinions. However they come lol

Brown on tips of buds
Noticed a little bit of brown/amber color on the very tips of the buds this morning. I don't think it's busy rot but wanted the opinion of the experts so please let me know what you think.

Potential bud rot?
My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early? I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!

Is this a Jillybean?
Hi, any ideas of what stain this plant could be? I was informed that the seed she is growing from was a Jillybean but the growth, leaf colour and pistils do not look right for a Jillybean. Nice Autumn colours what ever it is.

Weed smells dry like regular cut grass. What to do?
I harvested parts of my laughing buddha and I've dried it for a few days now and the thing is, it smells like regular cut grass. When I touch it it smells like it's supposed to but when I open the jar it smells only like cut grass. Other plants have their unique smell tho. Help
