Why would you want to remove anything? Don’t mess with it. Put your scissors away. She’s doing her thing. Good luck 🤙

Looking at the pistils and trichomes I can't tell if I should start flushing yet. Should I start the flushing process now in anticipation of harvest in 1 - 2 weeks, or wait?

The latest photos show the growths in Bruce Banner that look like hermaphrodite eggs. Do you think this is eggs or am I wrong? Would you destroy the plant at this point or break off the eggs and continue to observe? For good, I must destroy the plant. But there is still weak hope

Extra branches
I dug up the seedling cause I thought it was a dud. I put it back in the ground and it sprouted weird shaped first sets of leaves. Now I have random branches growing between nodes 1 and 2. I don't want these branches....can I clip them?

Considering it is an auto strain do you believe it is worth cutting the apex or better off working on one big cola ? If anybody has tried out both and has an input on this, this will be much appreciated :)

Slow growth even though healthy looking plant. Suspecting: 1:watering issues as It is my first time watering in soil indoors, even more so with living organic.I always wait for the top inch to be dry and or the pot to feel lighter. (1L/feed) 2:light distance? What do you think?

Has anyone had any grow complications due to a light? I don’t want the problem to be the light I have taken a precaution. But if it comes to it I’d rather order a new one that’s not like this as it’s the first time I’ve seen orange and yellow added? Am I over thinking it?

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?
All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light. I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done? Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily? Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

How much of a difference does adding CO2 make to your yield? Is it worth the added cost and effort per gram of finished cured flower? Or is it only worth it if you have a full time commercial scale grow with full control of your grow environment?

Hi! :) Trichomes are pretty clear, although some milky ones appears, buds have almost all pistils brown. What do you think? Should I harvest today, or next week? PS: Why some trichomes doesn't have that "head"? Under microscope i can sometimes see a lot of them without head.

Are these flowers good to harvest? The Auto Dark Purple Kush plants are on time, maybe a little late. They've flushed for one day so far and will give them two more days. Keeping them in the dark 24/7 with the final flush at 45% humidity. Thanks for the help?
