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.

I messed up the one in the yellow pot it had a really bad break right on the stock that almost split the plant in two in late June . I taped it and the plant choked itself on the tape because I did not take the tape off soon enough. So it has really small buds=bubble hash

Could you look at the last set of pics I posted, give me ur educated guess on what’s up. I think it’s either water or heat stress. It was quite dry last time I watered it.

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?

Need help diagnosing her issue. Not sure if it's a burn (haven't had an issues with light burn so not thinking that really, and haven't been too aggressive with her nutes). Or maybe potassium deficiency? I see a few orange spots so thinking maybe calcium too?

Now at day 70, which should be typical for her to be ready for harvesting. The trichomes are about 20% milky. Don't want to wait to long and lose too much cbd. Should I taking the tops now and leave the popcorn buds another week, or feed/flush and wait a week?
