If you're growing photoperiod you change the diary when you change to 12-12 If you're growing automatic when you see the pistils growing.

, I would say when you first start seeing signs of flower. I wouldn’t wait till flowers are forming. Once I see flower signs, pistils forming etc, that’s week 1 flower. Good luck Growmie 😎🌱💨

Hi guys, Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest. This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc. Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her? Ty

Cuál es la temperatura y humedad relativa perfectas en vegetación de automáticas?
Tengo una breve consulta ya que parece ser que un 40 a 50 por ciento de humedad relativa no llegan a cumplir con los requerimientos para un correcto desarrollo. Mi temperatura siempre está entre los 28-20C° y me gustaría saber si realmente un 60% de HR ayuda a mejorar desempeño.

Shifting my light schedule by ~2hrs during week 7 of flower?
My lights turn on at 10:30am, and I want to move it to 9AM (for work), is this safe to do during week 7 of flower? I want to move it 30minutes each day, keeping the total dark period consistent during the transition. I have two week to do it. Experienced growers appreciated.

Temperature and spectrum lemon Ak AUTO
Hi, i think this is the last week, but the temperature is too high (30-32°). If I use only bloom spectrum the temperature is around 29°, as the lamp heats less.Is it better to continue to use the full spectrum, with higher temperatures, or only bloom?

How long until harvest?
Hi. I changed the light cycle at 01.12.2023. So it comes to nearly 60 days of flowering now. How long should I wait until harvest? They look pretty good for me but maybe could grow more yield. The strains are (from left above) Pineapple Chunk, Gelato, Mazar Extra and Sensi Skunk.

Male, Female, It or they??
The wedding cake doesn't show the standard signs of being a female. There appears to be pistils in the new growth but I don't see it at the nodes. All of the nodes look like elongated sacs. From what I've read people say it's most likely female but what say you all?
