They are still young and white. Give them time and they will bulk up, put on some color, and get some nice aroma.

Stunted plant orange hairs
She's 8 weeks old on Friday. Didn't think she would make it tbh.. got up this morning and she's got quiet alot of orange hairs and the leaves look discoloured on all the lower leaves. The top cola has 2 or 3 bright orange pistols... Should I start flushing now?

Small Buds
Day 52 of flower nearing harvest. Overall, the buds are nice and frosty, but small. The buds growing under colas are size of a gum ball. Do you think this is the strain, or due to nutrients? Using Element Nutrients feeding schedule (Complete, Flower Fuel) every other watering.

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?

5th week of flowering Easy Bud, unsure of when and what to do next.
end of the 5th week of flowering, the buds are growing but are still very slime but a few of the pistils have turned red. Have some burn on the top leaves, are these going to cause more issues? Are they likely to bulk up anymore? am I looking at another 2 weeks or is it longer?

Will they fatten up?
Hi guys, I'm growing this Amnesia Skunk autoflower on my windowsill. It's been 8 weeks and 3 days since it popped up from the soil I planted it in. It has quite a bit of flowers but all quite small. They kinda look like popcorn nugs. Will they still fatten up?

Bro wtf harvest or nah or is something going on
Hey gromo’s ..Is it harvest time or is it a deficiency or should I add calmag or is it ph? I already fed it 500 ml of potassium and calmag and then wound up cutting it down so I’d think possibly harvest? But thought I’d check anyways to be sure. Thanks friends. Much love.

Small colas?
Do my buds look small for their growth stage? Into week 5 of flowering now. They are very densly stacked and not ready to fatten yet but I feel the colas could have been longer for this far on?

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??
Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more? (She is in her third flowering week)
