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! 😋

Skunk1 don't have to wait much until harvest?
The plants are 42 days old in the pictures, there is a photo of them in the diary, unfortunately I can't make them of better quality:(can I give them the canna flush for the next watering?or should I still use nutrients?Personally, I would leave them for 10 days and harvest them.

If you look at picture 3 of 11 of my latest update, you'll see one bud, nearly dead-center. And you can see the white hairs are browning, but they're browning from the tips. Is that natural? Maybe normal for some strains? Or is it a sign of something else?

Flushing 420 fast buds six shooter
I'm 1 day Into week 7 should I start flushing my six shooter auto now as most of them I've seen finish in 8-9 weeks. I know she's only small but I'm hoping the 'bits' I do get are chronic.

Odd Buds. Does anyone recognize this ?
Their overall growth seems hindered. They don’t develop long white hairs but rather short brown ones. Also,they don’t seem to develop trichomes. I am running the same setup as last time, where I did not observe these problems. I am using inorganic fertilizer. More details: Diary
