Hard water calcium build-up. Should be fine unless you want to add filters on your water source.

Correct, just dried out nutrient salts/calcium due to evaporation. Nothing to worry over.

How should I harvest?
So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.

Rain flushing nutes out?
Hey guys, I’m growing autos outside and the weather has been very wet and windy. The soil in the pots haven’t dried out in about a week and I’ve been feeding as normal it I’m wondering if I need to feed more because of the rain soaking the soil. Are the nutes being flushed out?

Twins or different species?
3rd grow, so still a complete noob, didn't know twins were a thing before these popped up. Both were close, similar, developed in sync at the beginning, but one plant's leaves developed too weird to be the same species. Twins with a weird mutation or different species altogether?

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?
Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks). To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?

Why are you guys spreading misinformation?? Telling people using hydroponics to feed right away. From Green Planet Nutrients and my own experience you are wrong. And now you know... https://www.greenplanetnutrients.com/faq/

Moving her from inside to outside
I will put her outside as soon as weather is good enough in a few weeks. Direct sun from approx 9:30AM till 6:30PM. Now at 20/4 under CFL. will it stress her? Do I have to ease her into this or just move her directly? Aim for putting her out during veg or flower? TIA

Remove more leaves or not
Should I defoliate more and remove small buds, or is it better not to stress the plant during flowering? Also, why do the two plants on the right look so different? I didn’t do anything differently

I had not filled my pots enough, the heat accumulates inside it can go up to 32° without a fan. Currently I have added fans but I'm afraid it will dry out my plants. A solution ? (HPS 400w. I have 2 inlets that bring air at 20° to the bottom of the tent and an extractor at top)

Brown bud hairs?
Does this look normal? First time grower so no idea. Plant is 60 days old. Concerned that "hairs" are turning brown. Is the white on the leaves "sugar"? Also, the plant has largely stopped making "weed" smell. So many questions . . .

Male or female?
I see this today, i hope that it's a she and not a he :/ what do you think? I only see a few of polen sacs and nothing more weird for a female plant but this on the top of the bud is rare. If she is a he, what should i do? Is this over development of the buds?
