TerpDerpstarted grow question 5 years ago
About 10 days out from harvest according to the trichomes. This is the first time I’ve used the split stem HST on my crop, anyone have any experience with this technique? I’d like to hear what some experienced growers have to say about it.

The stem splitting terrifies me tbh lol but from what I've read you are doing it correctly. There are other tips too to increase resin. Give 48 hours of darkness before harvest, never harvest when the lights are on. Stop watering 3 days before harvest. And try to drop temps and humidity in the final week too! 👍🌱

Hey mate good work lovely looking plant and welcome to the stem splitting club there's not too many of us 👍😊👏🙌👏 personally I prefer a one week max of splitting or nails through the stem before chop if you do it too early you will shrink your potential end weight. Perfect time is halfway through harvest flush ( after buds have packed on majority of their weight.) Only time I do it earlier is if I need to harvest before their ready. If it's done to early you get no more bud growth but they increase resin production like crazy... It's a last ditch attempt to protect their seed pods..👌

I personally have no experience with this method but it look like you times it just right. Also another tip is harvest before lights come on that day so none of the starches etc... Make up to the buds yet.

I have 2 seedlings in FFOF that are 2 weeks old and struggling! I might have overwatered and caused nute lock? They are green, just not growing. Their sister in expert gardener is on the same water schedule and is double the size. Do I just let them get bone dry and then flush?Week 2

Defoliation, is it worth it? It’s the start of week 5, my 3 plants are growing in a tight tent and the leaves are starting to cross between them. I’m worried that the smaller plants won’t get enough light but I’ve never defoliated before and I am nervous to try. any advice? :)Week 5

Hey guys, compared to other grows in the week 8 stage, my plant looks quit small and stunted. Does anyone think I could have done something better? maybe I was too aggressive with training or defoliating. I was hoping to be flipped to flower by now.Week 8
