Harvesting my queen
TTAzazelstarted grow question 2 years ago
Trichomes on some buds are starting to turn amber (those on bud not leaves), but most are milky with some transparent on smaller buds. Should I wait until most of them will be milky (with chance of more amber CBD ones) or can I chop her down and those transparent ones will ripen?

If you chop the entire plant, the clear trichs will not continue to mature... you have the option of harvesting in sections if you want - take the top that has the milky/amber trichs and dry them leaving the bottom to continue growing/maturing...
Good luck!

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?Week 11

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?Week 7

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
