You are actually starting to flower just on schedule. Nothing is out of the ordinary. Have patience.

No diary = information. Some strains are slow at the beginning of flower - there's not much you can do about genetics. Good luck

Trichomes on NYC diesel.
I am growing NYC Diesel auto. Pistils all dried up . This plant looks quite mature now but I keep-looking for some brown in trichomes. Flowering for 9 weeks already. Is it possible that this strain doesn’t show brownish trichomes. Just worried about getting over ripe.

Bud Question
Since flowering the plant in the back continued to stretch for longer than the 1 in the front spending more energy so the buds are smaller on the back plant. Will I be able to leave it longer for the buds to catch up in development or will it be ready at the same time as the othe

Harvest from top to bottom ok?
Can you harvest from top to bottom? If some of the buds lower need a day or 2 more is it ok to cut off what is done and leave the rest to finish or do you have to do it all at once? Does it affect it negative or positive either way? Input and advice greatly appreciated.

Hello, I think i need again your knowledge to understand an issue I might have. One of the plants (the one I planted one week later) has definitely flowering but it has not developed a main cola. Would you please let me know what could be the issue?

One auto not flowering. Just getting big
So the one I'm referring to as autochonk just keeps growing more and more leaves/branches while her sisters have been starting to show pistols and whatnot for a week or two now. All auto flowers about 5 weeks old so other 3 are right on time.

Who used my Elephant as a toilet? 😠
What is it? I spottet something strange on one of a lower flower branch. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? Shit from burgundy snales or mice? Rat poison on it? I took away all of the visible dirt but I‘m not sure if it‘s a good idea to use these flowers later.

How long is left?
How long do you think is left on this Royal haze auto? I know hazes tend to have a later flowering time but the plant is sending me conflicting signs... the fam leafs are starting to yellow, the trichomes look quite cloudy but she keeps giving lots and lots of new white hairs.
