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! 😋

Mainlining defoliation
I switched to flowering 2 days ago. On the defoliation side of the training, when there are grow tips that are growing from an under node, do i keep them or do i remove them? I don't want any larfy buds and i want the plant to focus into the 8 mainlined colas

How far to go?!?
How long would the experts think there is before harvest. First time photo grow, switched to 12/12 on 31st October. No signs for 2 weeks, but looking good now (I hope!) I suspect 4/5 weeks. Any thoughts? Thank you for your input.

Are these nanners developing?
Can anyone identify if this is the early stages of nanners? The bright, lush green growth at middle top of picture is what concerns me in particular. I will likely chop tomorrow or the day after - but want to develop an eye for identifying nanners ASAP.

Ready to chop?
Is this ready to chop down? Seems ready to me but I have no experience. Trichomes are white and and some are amber but pistils are not all curled (in fact some new ones appeared recenttly). The breeder says 56-63 days seed to weed, it is now on day 64.
