I was moving the plant and it fell on the floor. Luckly I catch it in mid fall, so the plant hadn't got any damage, but a lot of soil finished on the colas. I tried to clean them but they remain a bit dirty, because they are very sticky. How can I clean them?

For now I would just try to shake off as much loose debris as possible with out spreading it to other buds. Your so close to harvest by the looks of the buds you don't want to damage the fresh trichomes by touching or brushing them off. After you have removed the fan and larger sugar leaves separate out the buds that are clean. Hang them horizontally using some wire so soil doesn't spread to lower cleaner buds and dry them to 62% humidity then lightly trim off an soil particles until you reach clean bud. Not going to lie but it could turn into a bit of extra work but you should be able to salvage them. Use a magnifying glass to see if you need to do any additional trimming good luck I hope this helps you out.

At least the plant is ok. I think I would try a real lightly moisten paper towel and dab try to collect most as possible but don't rub. Just lightly press and try to pick it up off the buds. It will be time consuming be gentle. Hope I can help

Sorry to hear that :(, glad the plant is ok. I would try with a brush to remove as many as i can, but i will leave the soil that will still sticked after the brush, as damaging the plant would be worse than a bit of soil i think. Hope i helped, Green Love! 💚💚💚.

Leaf and growth removalI’m always so cautious about growth and leaf removal. I always leave to much to late into flower and then get scared to remove it after. Would it be wise to start removing now end of week 4 beginning of week 5? Or should I leave the smaller struggling growth and larger leaves?Week 11

Defo or notWeek 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?Week 5

Autoflower defoliation?If you look at my latest pics like day 48, does anyone think I should do some fair amount of defoliation? I have picked some leaves that block buds but am torn whether to keep her bushy as is or if it would benefit at all from some decent amount of defoliation.Week 7

How much to defoliate?How much should I be defoliating right now? I've been attempting to apply the lollipop method but it's painful to keep pruning. I don't know how far to go. There are some fan leaves that are yellowing and limp towards the bottom which don't recieve as much light. Clip em too?

Defoliating some moreI know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?
