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.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago
