top flowers? cut or not to cut...
ernest_twwganswered grow question 4y ago
It's an option, for sure. If they are finished and all the trichomes on the top buds are at least cloudy, snip them off and start drying them. I have a friend that does this and his plants handle it just fine. He snips any buds when they are finished and lets the others keep going until perfect, until his plant is harvested.
I hope this helps.

High Loganchan,
You can cut the lowest 30% from your plants... You want the plant to focus her energy on the big fat buds on top of the plant.
Happy Growing! 😋

The tops of the budsDoes anyone know why the flowers grow like this towards the end? It's getting weird edges that grow at the end of each bud.
Anyone know the reason?

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough spaceBuds. Other
Leaves. Too many

Not FloweringMy current grow has experienced a complication as they are in week 4 of flower and there’s no sign of buds only the beginnings of calyx and pistils developing. What could be stunting them from flowering.

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)5y ago
