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! 😋

Is this mold or what?
This white color like paint on the leaves only at the top cola are concerning me. I know I’ve had nutrient deficiency and trying to recover but is this something else that I have to remove?

Kann sie wirklich schon reif sein und woran kann es liegen?
Hallo zusammen! Hat evt. jemand eine Idee, warum das Blümchen (Bild 1,2,3) schon fast am Ende der Blüte ist, obwohl der Hersteller 2 bis 3 Wochen mehr angibt? Eine Zweite Pflanze (Bild 4, 5) im gleichen Zelt passt von der angegeben Blütedauer. Braucht also noch gut 14 Tage.

Muy buenas growers, ¿Alguno sabría si le pasa algo a mis plantas? Hoy han aparecido estas pequeñas manchas en algunas hojas y no sé si se irá incrementando con el tiempo la cantidad por alguna carencia o exceso ñ o algún bicho . AYUDA!!!

Nutrients schedule
If I have a nutrient that says to feed them X per gallon weekly, is it better to feed it a little at a time throughout the week or all at once? Or does it not matter? Is checking trichomes with a jeweler's loupe the best way to tell if a plant is ready?

Buds are always too dry. Why?
How do you keep your buds sticky? It took 5 days to dry my Purple Punch in the tent, above the lights as previously suggested! :) however they always seem to dry if I wait for a stem to audibly snap. What shall I do? Thanks so much 🙏
