High loganchan,
I would reommend to defoliate the lowest 30% buds from your plant.
Later on you can always still defoliate the buds that barely develop and stay to small.
We want those top buds to get fat and juicy!
Happy Growing! 😋

How long until I should harvest my northern light?She's at day 50 now and her pistils are already getting quite orangey/brown (see diary), which seems rather early to me, also compared to other diaries of her strain. How long (more or less ofcourse) would you reckon she still has before she should be harvested?5y ago

My harvested weed smells amazing, but tastes horrible. I'd say a bad chemical-like after taste. I thought it was due to poor flushing, but I flushed the 2nd plant for over 2 weeks and the 1st plant for 1 week. Not sure what caused this... Overfertilization? Something else?Week 15

Start flushing ? When finish, cut only the biggest(done) buds and let smallest (note done) bud grow?Final week is coming ! I have two questions :
- Should i start flushing or keep feeding her? Since it's organic (biobizz) i'm wondering if there will be chemical taste as it could do w/ othr nutes.
- Can i chop only the biggest buds and let the smallest grow more?Buds. Other

We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.6y ago

Major difference between two plantsThe following two wedding cake autos were germinated and planted on the same day. However, as you can see within the photo, the one I front seems to be a few weeks ahead in terms of flowering. What reasons made the difference between the same strain/breeder? What mistakes?Week 8
