Harvesting / trimming
J_N_Zstarted grow question 5y ago
Hey
I am now in the last two weeks of my first grow. So far everything has gone well and the buds are looking very good, but now my question is, should I harvest the best ones and then trim them to keep them looking good afterwards?

Best to cut the whole plant down when it’s ready don’t mess with it till it’s ready

I would cut whole plant at once. Depending on Growing substrate you may desire flush time prior.

Best to take the entire plant IMO. After cutting main branches she goes into shock and takes time to recover.

Wondering when to stop nutes and start flushAm I far from harvest ? :p looking good in latest pics but still seems skinny in person !
Also if I choose to harvest top half first do I need to re add nutes when I put the bottom half back in light or will an auto not survive this kind of trick! ?Week 10

Harvest/flush time?My Special Kush#1 is today on day 32 of flowering. Today i checked the trichomes and apparently they are mostly white/milky colour. I read that this strain has a 7-8 weeks flowering time, so i was surprised to see them milky. I dont know if start to flush or wait another week.

Complicate
trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Two buds instead of one on one spot? Why is this happening, or is it normal?Why is this happening? This is my first grow and one of the growing Buds looks different like all others. It looks like there are coming two buds out of it, instead of just one like on the others. Or is this normal? Sorry for being such a noob.
One picture for reference.

No sign of flowering, see close up picturesGirls are looking really good but no sign of flowering. It has been 40 days from germination, please see close up pictures in week 5.
I learned from other websites that 12-12 light schedule could be used to initiate flowering.
Any suggestion?

Where does the bud formSo I was wondering about plant anatomy, I have been pinching off new branches from the intra nodes. Denying the plant new tops making 16 main tops. Will buds still form down the 16 mains from the top or did I just pick all the buds sites down the plant...!?Week 8

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)
