They look fine but in the future try to defoliate a couple days apart so you won’t stress the plant as much happy growing looks good 🍃🍃

So I messed up my timer and plants went back to veg . I'm on week 9 of flower and they look like they have a ways to go. Since revegging do I start my weeks over again? Or just watch them and listen? Will this event degrade the potency of the bud?Week 16

Im preparing for the curing process, Does anyone know how long you should do this for? Are there different results for doing it longer or shorter? Anyone got any cool tricks up their sleeves or things that worked well? Thanks for the help. ✌️Week 26

Can’t be calmag deficiency as it’s been fed tap water, everything’s pointing to nute lockout

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?Week 13

So... in the middle of week 5 I've noticed tiny pistols on my plants. I wonder if I should change feeding to bloom nutrients? If yes, should I flush it with AN Flawless Finish first for few days or go straight to blooming food? Appreciate any suggestions ;) Regards to y'all!Week 5

Is it normal for a plant to start preflowering 3 days after flipping to 12/12? Or have I hermied them? The plants had a 4 week veg, and a little topping. I also had a male in the tent in the last grow, but cleaned the tent thoroughly. Do you think pollen could still be there? 😀Week 6

Defoliation In 1st Week?I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.Week 6
