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! 😋

Seeds everywhere, unsure if this is a result of impregnation from a hermie I had weeks ago that I may have touched and spread pollen unknowingly or stress?I have 2 GDPs from ILGM that now have seeds. One much more than the other but certainly seeds. My question is can these buds still be used for rosin/edibles? or even smoked? And can these seeds potentially be feminized as they may have been stress induced? Or assume bad and toss?4y ago

Odd shaped budWhat is going on with my flower. I didn't go week by week. PH 5.8-6.2. ppm 550-800 between the 5 plants. I use .25 tsp beastie bloom per gallon, 4 big bloom, 2 big grow, 1 tiger bloom, 1.5 ml calmag, 3 ml hydroguard. Looks deformed and wider than the restWeek 6

Reveg/Budding issueWhat is my plant doing? the days are almost 15 hours long so I don't understand why it's budding still, I expected it to reveg by now but no sign of rounded single leaves still. The days are getting longer not shorter, end of next month is when the days start getting shorter.5y ago

Gute, oder schlechte Idee ?!Hey Leute,
Die unteren Seitentriebe bei dieser Lady sind sehr lang, die Buds an den unteren Trieben scheinen jedoch Gewicht zu haben.
Ich hatte überlegt die Triebe mit einem Garn an dem Stamm zu binden, zur stabilisation.
Könnte ich den Stamm beschädigen ?!
