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!

Male or female?
I see this today, i hope that it's a she and not a he :/ what do you think? I only see a few of polen sacs and nothing more weird for a female plant but this on the top of the bud is rare. If she is a he, what should i do? Is this over development of the buds?

SEEDS FOUND DURING TRIMMING
While cleaning the buds I found seeds(in all 4 cultivated plants). Not in all buds I have seen them. I have always checked carefully but have never seen clear male flowers or banana-like things. What may have happened? Thanks.

Are my plans hermaphrodites?
Hello My buds are growing slowly and I have noticed some weird formation at the branches that look like male pistils. My fear is that they have turned hermaphrodites. Any comments? Thanks

My outdoor Sativa, is it ready to be harvested by the end of August?
This unknown strain was given to me by my auntie, though, it isn't really my first strain, as i got it in a vegetative state, I didn't germinate it. We planted it in February and my friend told me, it should be ripe by the end of August. Should I give it more time than that?

Maui Waui Harvest Time?
Given the falling temperatures and rising humidity in the last days - do you guys think it is time to harvest? There are still a lot of clear trichomes... in my oppinion. I added some pictures.

Is it better to start flushing too early, or too late?
Is it better to start flushing too early, or too late? I'm going for the most sativa effects I can, which leads me to believe I want as much cloudy and as few amber trichomes as possible. Also leads me to think that "too early" is the better mistake to make.

Ready for a flushing ?
As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?

Epsom salt
Hello friends! I usually use Epsom salt for the preparation of my super soil at the beginning. Do you know if Epsom salts are suitable for the end of flowering? Will it be true? Thank you to those who will answer me! Peace!

Extra light in week 5 flower
Got a new timer but messed up setting it up. Plants got 16hrs of light in week 5 of flowering. Turned off lights as soon as I noticed.(5am) Was on 11am-11pm lights on. Should I let it get 12hrs of dark now and resume 12-12, or let lights come on as normal at 11am?

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! 😊
