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! đ

Swapping day/night light cycle during flowerDay 22 of flower. Lights are on during the day, 8am-to-8pm but we need to switch to 8pm-to-8am to use the colder night air to cool our lights without using a/c. Would it negatively affect the plants at this point in flower to give them 24hrs dark & completely swap light cycle?Buds. Other

Slow flower development?Can you tell me if I'm overthinking the rate at which the buds are developing? Day 28 of flower but it looks like week 2. Strain may be a longer flowering strain and it's my first time growing this cultivar. This has been the healthiest plant I've grown so far, no signs of stressBuds. Not fattening

Is it better to start flushing too early, or too late?Is it better to start flushing too early, or too late?
I'm going for the most sativa effects I can, which leads me to believe I want as much cloudy and as few amber trichomes as possible. Also leads me to think that "too early" is the better mistake to make.Week 9

Harvesting plant in sections â not all at once?When harvesting, does anyone ever harvest their plant in phases? Example: I have trichomes approaching harvest on the tops of the colas, but lower down they are still all clear, and will not be ready at the same time. Should I cut tops now, lower ones later?Week 15

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other
