Grow QuestionsTrimming around buds pre week 14

Trimming around buds pre week 14

LK_Smokastarted grow question 3 years ago

I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago

buds have minimial to no photosynthesis occuring. they do not need light in the way that leaves do. reducing the amount of ATP produced from photosynthesis will not speed up anything, ever. it is the energy that drives cellular growth. its not light hitting the buds, but the leaves around the buds that powers it's growth - or reacts like when "streching". sugars are trucked in through phloem, but you will get better buds when local leaves are powering growth. unless we are talking about a palo verde tree that has chlorophyl in its bark, leaves are what soak up photons.. not buds or stems etc.

Fast yellowing in older and middle leaves, small buds.Hi guys, I need your help on this one, this is a completely organic grow under a FC-6500 light which is 60cm at 100% power, it can't be light stress because the tops are fine.This yellowing happened fast in the span of 4 days.PH shouldn't be an issue since I calibrate regurarly.

Slow bud growth Hey everybody would anybody have an idea on why my bud growth seems stunted? Like maybe it's just genes and it's a slower bloomer or what? That plant imho seems fairly healthy but it's just producing flowers at such a slow rate compared to its sister sitting right next to it

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

Autoflowers are new to me and I’m just not sure if I am 100% on board with their ability to “autoflower” even under a 18/6 light schedule. I’m debating if I should flip her to 12/12 starting today. I think she needs some persuasion. What do you think? Thanks

Looking for some tips on when is best to harvest! I have heard that you want primarily red pistils and mostly cloudy trichomes with a few ambers thrown in. Any recommendations and/or observations on how far along my plant might be would be appreciated!
