Scrumpystarted grow question 5 years ago
Based on the dreadful pictures I have, does anyone agree she is ready to be cut? Will have to trust me when I say there seems to be the majority of trichomes either cloudy or amber.
I know the leaves are bad looking, I think she got too hot for a few days when I went away :(

Your buds look fine some times the leaves will look worse for wear by the end of the grow. It could be a bit of light burn or potassium deficiency but it's no big deal. You will have a mixture of clear/milky/amber trichomes. Most growers will chop them with 5% to 30% amber trichomes the trichomes still ripen for a few more days after you chop so your good to go. Use a good pair of curve bladed trimming scissors and you can wet trim your buds basically cutting the yellow tips off your sugar leaves to improve your final dry buds appearance. My personal view is if it's not completely covered in trichomes it gets trimmed off. There are plenty of recipes on the internet to make cannabutter and hash oil with your trim. It looks like your going to have some kick ass buds out of her.👍👍

I would say ready to harvest now. Give a day or two in darkness, let the soil go dry now and then trim all the leaves off you can before hanging to dry. Happy growing!

The only time you should be using pistel colour as any indication, is if the trichomes are coloured. LSD-25 is the first strain I encountered with purple trichiomes, very neat to see. The yellowing of the bud leaves is natural, just cannibalizing itself to use all the nutrients it has left in the leaves. Yellowing near the end of its life is normal, not grower error. If you checked the entire plant and it is uniformly 80% cloudy 10% amber and 10% still changing, then it sure is time to harvest. You can leave it in darkness for up to 3 days to bulk up the trichomes. any longer is not something I would recommend.

Yes cut her down. Buds look beautiful. And I recommend not to let the plant sugar leaves turn yellow if you like bag appeal. It's hard to trim away the yellow color from buds. But great grow and wait to see what u grow next😀

Your trichomes are cloudy and amber so none of them are clear which is the best for a good effect ( I mean for a stony effect more tha an energetic one , but it can depend on your strain ) .
The leaves are affected but nothing harmful at that stage, you can either harvest or wait for the desired trichomes ratio but If I were you I would have harvested her

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!Week 4

I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off.
I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites.
I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it?

Remove or not new branchesHi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary).
Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure?
My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation
